Show Synopsis
Crazy For You -- the fabulous Gershwin musical comedy -- is the classic tale of a boy, a girl, and a theatre in need of salvation. Stage-struck Bobby Child works as a banker for his overbearing mother, Lottie, but spends his off hours practicing dance routines and sneaking in to audition for Zangler’s Follies, the most popular show in New York City, run by Bela Zangler, a temperamental Hungarian producer.
Unfortunately, Bobby’s showbiz career is going nowhere, and his strident fiance is insisting that he name the date, so when Lottie demands that he investigate a far-away customer who has defaulted on a mortgage, Bobby jumps at the chance to get out of town. Arriving in hot, quiet Deadrock, Nevada, Bobby falls for Polly Baker, the sweet and sturdy postmistress, whose father happens to own the beautiful, but decaying, Gaiety Theatre - which he has been sent to reposess
Now lovestruck, Bobby comes up with a plan: call in his friends, the Follies Girls, all the way from New York City, cast the locals-- a bunch of rundown cowboys with latent musical talent--and put on a show to save the old building. Polly starts to fall for Boby, but is furious when she discovers that he comes from the bank.
In order to spend time with the furious Polly, Bobby disguises himself as Bela Zangler of Zangler’s Follies, all the better to produce and direct. But while “Zangler” is talking up Bobby to the unsuspecting Polly, Polly is falling for the impersonation of dashing Zangler…. and when the real Zangler arrives in town, chasing Tessie, his beloved dance captain, things really get “Crazy!”
With a fast-paced and light-hearted script by Ludwig, and a collection of the most beloved tunes of George and Ira Gershwin, including the day-dreamy “Can’t Be Bothered Now”, the catchy, high-energy “Slap That Bass”, and the plaintive, romantic “Someone To Watch Over Me”, Crazy For You is a truly delightful homage to the beloved, optimistic musicals of the 1930s: a world of showgirls and cowboys, in which a city boy and a country girl reconcile their differences, fall in love, and save a theater, the old-fashioned way.

We are looking for cast of 4 Female, 3 Male
- Jefferson Steel; a fading Hollywood star who is arrogant, insecure, brash, gauche, demanding, vulnerable and ultimately aware of his own absurdity. Has a daughter (see below), so needs to look the right age, and able to hold a convincing american accent
- Dorothy Nettle; director of the Stratford Players and the moving force behind keeping the theatre alive. Her sweet accommodating manner conceals her inner strength
- Jessica Steele; Jefferson's 20ish daughter, who has been neglected by her Hollywood star father, and now wants to make him pay for it. Able to hold convincing american accent and be believable as Jefferson's daughter
- Nigel Dewberry; solicitor and leading light of the Stratford Players. Pompous, stuck-up and self-regarding, he believes he is the star of the show, and should play all the leading roles. He also fancies his romantic chances with Dorothy
- Mary Plunkett; Owner of the village B&B. Jolly, generous and an unashamedly adoring Jefferson Steel fan - although somewhat confused about which roles he played in his films.
- Dennis Dubbins; handyman and village Mr Fixit. Avuncular though slightly dull, Denis is star-struck by Jefferson and fancies heading up his entourage of one
- Lauren Bell; Thirty-something marketing executive, former physiotherapist and wife of the theatre's sponsor. Passionate about the arts and smarter than her husband allows her to be.
