 A zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy, Crazy For You® tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre. Memorable Gershwin tunes from the score include “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can't Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

CRAZY FOR YOU® is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.

Please prepare a musical theatre song (a 2nd contrasting song may be asked for) from the music of Gershwin and/or song material from the musical. Also, please bring a 2-minute monologue preferably suitable for the time period of the 1930/40’s. Strong jazz and tap skills are an asset.
