For its 31st season, Royal City Musical Theatre presents the musical Crazy for You.
A classic romantic comedy about a boy, a girl, and a theatre in need of salvation, it is full of humour, larger-than-life characters, and some of the greatest show tunes of all time.
The story in a nutshell: stage-struck Bobby Child (Todd Talbot) works as a banker but has the desire to be a singer/dancer on Broadway and spends his off hours practicing dance routines. He is sent to Nevada to foreclose on a theatre and falls for Polly Baker, the sweet postmistress whose father happens to own the beautiful but decaying Gaiety Theatre. Bobby concocts a scheme to bring together New York
City Follies Girls with a cast of local rundown cowboys (with latent musical talent) to put on a show and save the theatre. But plans get complicated. The zany yet lighthearted script is complemented with sensational tap dancing and a collection of the most beloved tunes from George and Ira Gershwin, including the romantic “Someone To Watch Over Me” and “Shall We Dance,” “I Can’t Be Bothered Now” and the high-energy dance number, “I Got Rhythm.”
