CRAZY FOR YOU

SUMMER 2018

Ovation's production of Crazy for You was the happy recipient of numerous National Youth Arts Awards such as Outstanding Production, Artist of the Year (Aquila Ewald as Polly), Lead Performance in a Musical (Dashiell Gregory as Bobby Child), Featured Performer in a Musical (Audrey Deubig as Patsy), and Best Direction (Pamela Laurent).

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 theater 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,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
