Review: ‘Crazy for You’ at Signature Theatre
I have a perpetual soft spot for Crazy for You, which was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. What with George and Ira Gershwin songs, Tony-winning choreography by Susan Stroman, and the wonderful loopy energy of Ken Ludwig’s book, a theater-mad teenage girl couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the Great White Way.
Signature Theatre’s new production of Crazy for You brings with it the warm heart and high spirits of the original. Denis Jones has re-choreographed the show to fit the Signature space, and he and director Matthew Gardiner cleverly utilize every inch of that space, with the action often spilling uproariously into the aisles.
