Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 April 2014
The Grand Theatre, Blackpool is pleased to announce Crazy For You, the latest production by Blackpool Operatic Players which will be performed from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 April.
Set in 1930s Deadrock, Nevada and New York City, Crazy For You is a romantic comedy musical based around the best-loved songs and music by George and Ira Gershwin. Hit classics featuring in the show include Someone to Watch Over Me, They Can’t Take That Away From Me and I Got Rhythm.
Bobby Child is the son of a rich banking family, whose mother gives him the task of going to Nevada to foreclose on a rundown theatre. When he arrives, he falls in love with Polly, the owner of the Gaiety Theatre’s daughter. If he forecloses on the theatre Bobby knows he will lose the girl of his dreams.
His solution to this problem is to help the theatre pay off the mortgage by putting on a show, calling in The Zangler Follies Girls from New York to help stage this spectacle. All of a sudden sleepy Deadrock becomes a hub of singing and dancing and what follows is a rocky road of ups and downs and mistaken identities.
Taking on the roles of Bobby and Polly in their dramatic and exciting love/hate relationship are Blackpool Operatic Players Karl Hugo and Hayley Mallinson. As well as toe-tapping music, Crazy For You also features imaginative and energetic tap dancing scenes, under the direction of producer and choreographer Steve Chesters.
Coming to the Grand Theatre this April, the Blackpool Operatic Players’ staging of Crazy For You is a feel-good musical with comedy, romance and lots of singing and dancing for all to enjoy.
