Directed and choreographed by multi-Tony and Olivier award winner Susan Stroman, this spectacular production transfers from a sell-out season at the Chichester Festival Theatre. Starring Charlie Stemp, the Olivier-nominated star of Half a Sixpence and Mary Poppins as Bobby, Carly Anderson, star of Wicked as Polly, and Drama Desk Award winner Tom Edden as Bela Zangler.
He’s a fish out of water and she’s a real catch.
Theatre-mad Bobby Child is torn between his show-business dreams and running the family bank. He reluctantly heads west to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a theatre’s mortgage, only to fall for the theatre owner’s daughter, Polly. Desperate to prove his good faith, Bobby decides to put on a show – complete with dancers from the glamorous Zangler Follies in New York City – to save the theatre, renew the town and hopefully win Polly’s love.
With a riotously entertaining book by Ken Ludwig and overflowing with glorious Gershwin melodies (including Someone to Watch Over Me, I Got Rhythm and They Can’t Take That Away from Me), this is ‘a divine production that will leave you giddy’ Guardian. The original production of Crazy For You won several Tony and Olivier Awards, including Best Musical.

Bobby arrives in Deadrock, Nevada, a town that has seen better days. The Great Depression has filled the streets with uncertainty and weary faces. It is here that he meets the tough but sweet Polly. But like any boy-meets-girl tale, there's a problem - her father owns the Gaiety Theater, the very building Bobby has been sent to take.
Crazy For You, the euphoric Gershwin golden comedy will have you tapping all your troubles away for two and a half hours! So, here are five reasons why you should see Crazy For You!

Interview with Crazy For You’s Tom Edden
It isn’t just audience members who are enthralled by the athletic tap dancing and acrobatics performed by the talented company at Crazy For You. Tom Edden, who plays the successful musical producer and theatre owner, Bela Zangler, is equally (if not more) impressed, “If I had the gift of being able to dance, I’d love to be in the swing of the big showstopping tap numbers with the rest of the ensemble” he gushed.
We sat down with the multi-talented actor to discuss Soleros, Pantos, Sally Bowels, and of course, his critically acclaimed musical Crazy For You!
