Was I in New York or in Richmond? Who knew that happening RIGHT NOW out in Richmond at the Gateway Theatre, is one of the finest musicals I've ever seen locally! Gershwin's Crazy For You is currently playing, and you will be transported from Broadway to the deserts of Nevada, from the inside of a saloon to backstage at a theater. All of this done by some amazing set work and detail, as well as a highly talented cast of singers, actors, dancers, aka Triple Threats.
And really, who could ask for anything more? The songs are catchy, the choreography by Julie Tomato is fan-freaking-tastic, and the entire ensemble are superb, led by the excellent tap dancing stylings of Gaelan Beatty as Bobby Child. The calibre of this production rivals anything you'll find on Broadway!
This show was so damn good, I want to go again, and bring all my musical-loving friends to it. With the holiday season upon us, it is the perfect gift to give! What are you waiting for? Someone to watch over you?
Crazy For You runs at the Gateway Theatre until December 31st.
