Crazy for You

Hotfoot it to the Gillian Lynne Theatre this season to catch the Chichester Festival Theatre’s sell-out show, Crazy for You, ahead of its January close. A Golden Age musical about following your dreams and falling in love, the feel-good show is laced with hummable Gerswhin gems (popular numbers include I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, and They Can’t Take That Away from Me). Directed and choreographed by multi-Tony® and Olivier award winner Susan Stroman, it’s a real grin-widener, with phenomenal dance sequences and dazzling costumes to boot.
