Rich with music, dance and fun, Good Company Players’ production of Crazy for You delighted opening week audiences at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater. Now entering its second week, Crazy for You is a Gershwin extravaganza, filled with song, dance, and laughter.
In this salute to 1930’s movie musicals, a stage-struck financier named Bobby travels to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose on a run-down theater. He winds up falling in love with Polly, the daughter of the theater owner. When Bobby gets the brilliant idea to put on a show to save the theater, nobody trusts him so he disguises himself as famous producer, Bela Zangler. Everything goes swimmingly until the real Bela Zangler shows up in Deadrock in pursuit of his dance director who has abandoned New York to help Bobby. Matters are further complicated by a jilted socialite, a jealous saloon owner, and Eugene and Patricia Fodor, who are writing a review of Deadrock’s tourist appeal.
The timeless Gershwin score includes “I Got Rhythm,” “Someone To Watch Over Me,” “Naughty Baby,” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” Crazy for You is rated PG and is on stage at Roger Rocka’s through March 15. |
