Crazy For You - Chichester / Gillian Lynne Theatre

I think if Cameron is willing to push Ain't Too Proud then Crazy For You could be good for the Prince Edward.

The point is nobody knows at the moment. It’s only just opened.

Perhaps Sadlers could ditch the obligatory crimbo Bourne ballet. They won't but no harm in wishing.

SB is on this Christmas

it'd fit the gillian lynne after lehman and stemp would be free...

Half standing ovation tonight but still no denying that this production is something special. There aren’t many shows like this these days are there? To hear an overture player feels like a luxury. On the show itself, the costumes, the choreography and performances are all top notch. I sort of envy Chichester locals for having such a brilliant producing house but living in London, I shouldn’t complain. There’s nothing more euphoric than hearing Gershwin played by a live orchestra and when you add choreography by a 5x Tony winner, this Crazy For You is a bona fide spectacle that deserves every inch of praise received so far. No doubt, plans to transfer are already brewing and I hope we get a new cast recording too as the vocals are lovely in this as are the new orchestrations.

Cheeky!! There was a full standing ovation when I went on Tuesday night. Plenty of wee nippers in the audience.

Lovely production of a particularly wafer-thin entertainment. But I suppose that’s part of its charm.

Charlie had a little slip in one of his early tap numbers but recovered incredibly well.

I was told off by a patron for standing before the performance had even begun! What is it about theatregoers in Chichester?

Anyone calling me a whippersnapper is my new best friend. 👍😀

Wonderful rehearsal clip on YouTube one of several they have posted for this revival.

Really hope this does get a tour or West end run and that the sheer exuperance of the choreography and the timeless songs wins through and the lack of tickets sales for the other recent revivals, (my fair lady, South Pacific, anything goes run 2) does not put producers off.
Susan Stroman has reinvigorated the show judging from the reviews both from critics and the fortunate board members who have seen it. With a Charlie Stemp lead it has the potential to win over the west end once again and give us a full on singing, dancing, fun musical show.

Thanks for advising have amended link to Chichester who had been posting several and thought it was there.
The Susan Stroman choreography has certainly stood the test of time and is as exhilarating to watch even after all this years
