EXCLUSIVE: Susan Storman, the celebrated Broadway director and choreographer, has revealed that an acclaimed UK revival of musical comedy Crazy for You, which features show-stopping numbers from the George and Ira Gershwin songbook, will transfer from the Chichester Festival Theater into Andrew Lloyd Webber’s LW Theatres-owned Gillian Lynne Theatre for a strictly limited 30-week West End season from June 24. Opening night is July 3.
The production with British stars Charlie Stemp and Carly Anderson played to packed houses during an eight-week summer run at Chichester.
It’s a coming home of sorts for Stroman, who won the Tony Award for Best Choreography when Crazy for You opened on Broadway in 1992. That production was directed by Mike Ockrent, who co-conceived the show with Ken Ludwig, writer of the original book. The show collected the Best Musical Tony and then the Olivier Trophy when it moved to London in 1993.
Ludwig has added contemporary touches to his book — and trimmed 15 minutes off the running time.
Stroman’s crazy about her leads, praising Anderson for the contemporary edge that she brings to the role of Polly Walker, a denizen of Deadrock, an abandoned mining town in Nevada. “She brings a great heart to the piece,” Stroman said of Anderson, who has played Glinda in international tours of Wicked and was a key cast member of Sunny Afternoon, which featured music and lyrics by Ray Davies of the Kinks.
However, Stroman was beside herself with glee when it came to Stemp. He plays Broadway wannabe Bobby Child, who travels to Deadrock to deliver a foreclosure notice on the town’s once-thriving Gaiety Theater. Once there, Child also assumes the identity of Broadway producer Bela Zangler. A moment of comic genius
