Crazy For You Opens in San Leandro April 20

Crazy For You, a high-spirited musical for all ages, will open April 20 at the San Leandro High School AEC Theatre at 2200 Bancroft Avenue.

Here is a description of the play, dates and times of its performances and a list of its cast as noted on the performing group's Facebook page:

CRAZY FOR YOU is the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy banker who's dream in life is to dance. His mother demands that he give up his dreams of becoming a song-and-dance man and leave for Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a long-empty theatre. Once in Deadrock, Bobby meets Polly Baker, the only girl in town. He falls madly in love with her and she hates him right back. Bobby is determined to put on a show to save the theatre, pay off the mortgage, and win Polly’s heart. He persuades his chorus girl pals from Broadway to join him in Deadrock for the show. The town is soon swarming with Follies Girls, along with Bobby disguised as Producer Bela Zangler from New York City. As rehearsals progress, “Bela” tries to persuade Polly to give Bobby another chance. Polly confesses she has already fallen in love with him - Bela! Not at all what Bobby planned.

Featuring classic Gershwin songs such as "I Got Rhythm," "Slap That Bass," "Someone To Watch Over Me," and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," the jazzy 1930's musical CRAZY FOR YOU™ is a hilarious adventure that anyone can fall in love with.
