 Sweet Home High School goes back in time for this year’s musical production of George and Ira Gershwin’s Crazy for You.
The time: the 1930s; the place: New York City. Bobby Child is the son of prominent East Coast banker Lottie Child. Although forced to enter the family business, Bobby continues to dream of becoming a song-and-dance man; he even goes so far as to audition for Broadway impresario Bela Zangler but fails to make the grade. Bobby’s first assignment as a banker is to foreclose on the Gaiety Theater in Deadrock, Nevada. Once in Deadrock, Bobby meets Polly Baker, the only girl in town. In true musical theatre fashion, they sing, they dance and they fall head-over-heels in love. When Bobby realizes that Polly’s father owns the theatre he has come to claim, he convinces her they can put on a show to raise money and save the property. Polly is enthusiastic until she realizes that he is the banker who has
come to foreclose on the property. She slaps him and runs away.
Bobby is determined to go ahead with the show, pay off the mortgage and win Polly’s heart. He persuades his chorus girl pals from Broadway to join him in his scheme to save the Gaiety Theatre in Deadrock. Deadrock, Nevada is soon swarming with Follies Girls, much to the surprise of the local cowboys!! Bobby disguises himself as Bela Zangler, and the stage is set for a romantic musical comedy full of plenty of high-energy Gershwin tunes to keep your toe tapping.
