Crazy For You

A "new" Gershwin musical comedy, Crazy For You was the quintessential musical - one where everybody sings, everybody dances and where anything on hand is used to make music. The plot was nothing new, having been adapted from the 1930s musical, Girl Crazy, but with an energetic cast, a touch of outrageously funny humor, colorful costumes, great scenery and one of the best musical scores of the century - who could ask for anything more?

George and Ira Gershwin were an incomparable team, responsible for some of the best-known American standards from Tin Pan Alley, stage and screen. Even George's classical compositions, resonating with jazz and African-American influences, can be hummed whistled or sung by us all. The Gershwins and their compositions are part of the collective American consciousness . Crazy For You uses seven great Gershwin songs from Girl Crazy, including "Bidin' My Time," "Embraceable You," "I Got Rhythm," and "But Not for Me." 13 other Gershwin songs are added: from Broadway shows like Treasure Girl, Oh! Kay, Show Girl and Ladies First; Hollywood films like Shall We Dance, and Damsel in Distress; and one addition, "Naughty Baby," which was not written either for the stage or films.
