Crazy For You Jr. is a one hour condensed, Broadway Junior adaptation of the Tony-winning Gershwin musical.
About the show:
Adapted from the Gershwins’ 1930 musical Girl Crazy , Crazy For You ® opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre on February 19, 1992, starring Harry Groener and Jodi Benson. The show ran for four years, playing for 1,622 performances.
Plot:
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,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “Nice Work if You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
