This new George and Ira Gershwin extravaganza is filled with song and dance, and talented playwright Ken Ludwig's hilarious dialogue. The audience will be swept up in the artfully constructed tale of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy, whose dream in life is to dance. And despite the serious efforts of his mother and soon-to-be-ex-fiancee, Bobby achieves his dream! It's a high-energy comedy which includes mistaken identity, plot twists, fabulous dance numbers plus many memorable tunes from old George and Ira Gershwin shows of the '20s and '30s, including "I Can't Be Bothered Now," "Bidin' My Time," "I Got Rhythm," "Naughty Baby," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "But Not for Me," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," "Embraceable You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me."
"This show is adapted from the 1930's musical, 'Girl Crazy' - the only Gershwin musical to be filmed more than once," says director Douglas Anderson. "The most famous version starred Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. Like them, our leads-- Ellie Portman as Polly and Nick Cusano as Bobby -- also bring an engaging stage presence and a wealth of talent and dedication. The comic timing and chemistry between them are delightful. Our supporting cast is stellar, as well, and the hard work that everyone has put in really shows."
