Crazy For You at Villanova University Theatre

A toe-tapping musical brimming with Gershwin classics, whisks audiences away to the roaring twenties. This romantic comedy follows Bobby Child, a wealthy New Yorker with a passion for show business. Sent to foreclose on a rundown theater in Deadrock, Nevada, Bobby finds himself drawn to the small-town charm and the spirited Polly, who works at the struggling theater. To save the theater and impress Polly, Bobby hatches a daring plan. He adopts a new persona, a brash song-and-dance man named Zangler, and attempts to revive the theater with a dazzling Wild West-themed musical. As Bobby juggles his dual identities and navigates hilarious mistaken identities, the line between reality and performance blurs.

Filled with high-energy dance numbers and unforgettable songs like "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "I Got Rhythm," "Crazy For You" is a delightful celebration of music, dance, and the pursuit of love.
