Crazy For You

Crazy for You at Chichester Festival Theatre.

July 11 – Sept 4, 2022
Oaklands Park, Chichester West Sussex, PO19 6AP

Theater-mad Bobby Child is torn between his show-business dreams and his rich, demanding New York mother and equally rich, demanding fiancée, both of whom want him to run the family bank. On his mother’s insistence, he reluctantly heads west for the bygone mining town of Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a theater. This brand new production celebrates the 30th anniversary of Crazy for You (which itself was based on the 1930 musical Girl Crazy), and is directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, winner of five Tony and two Olivier Awards for productions that include The Producers, Contact, and The Scottsboro Boys. —Jensen Davis
