Mit Songs wie „I got Rythm', „Embraceable You' oder „Naughty Baby' versetzt uns „Crazy for you' zuruck in die 20er und 30er Jahre, zuruck in eine Zeit, als der Broadway noch swingte und steppte. Als Neufassung des Musicals „Girl Crazy' von George Gershwin und erganzt mit beruhmten Gershwin-Nummern wie „Tonight`s the Night' oder „They Cant`t Take That Away From Me' erlebte „Crazy for you' 1992 in New York seine Urauffuhrung und begeistert seitdem mit einer großen Portion Humor und wahrer Ohrwurmqualitat Musical-Fans weltweit. Seit Anfang Oktober lauft das Musical nun im Stadttheater Flensburg, wo es noch bis Juni 2016 zu sehen sein wird.
