A city-slicker banker and the country life collide in Brigham’s Playhouse’s “Crazy For You”
By Melanie Baxendale
Brigham’s Playhouse, a southern Utah leader in live theater, is excited to bring “Crazy For You” to the stage March 29 through April 27 at its intimate indoor theater in Washington.
A zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy, “Crazy For You” tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, an aspiring actor who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a delightful yet rundown theater. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theater owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows — through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity — to win Polly’s heart and save the theater. “Crazy For You” is the classic tale of a boy, a girl, and a theater in need of salvation!
This delightful musical is based on the book by Ken Ludwig with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and music by George Gershwin. Performances are running Thursdays through Saturdays at 7 p.m., with matinee performances at 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets are$23 for adults, $21 for seniors, and $17 for children over 5 and students. New for their 2019 Season is the option of a dessert theater ticket. Pay $5 additional when you purchase your ticket and receive your choice of a featured dessert (Polly’s Parfaits for the “Crazy For You” production), sweets and treats, and/or a beverage of your choice. You can purchase tickets at brighamsplayhouse.com or by visiting or calling the playhouse box office.
