Crazy for You is a musical with a book by Ken Ludwig, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by George Gershwin.
The musical is billed as 'The New Gershwin Musical Comedy' and incorporates songs from multiple Gershwin productions, largely based on their 1930 musical Girl Crazy.
Crazy for You won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1992, the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 1993, and the Dora Award for Best Musical in 1994.
Six songs from the Gershwin's 1930 musical Girl Crazy were included in Crazy for You.
The song 'Tonight's the Night' in Crazy for You was previously unpublished, originally written for the musical Show Girl, but not included.
The song 'What Causes That?' was considered lost until a copy was found in a Warner Brothers warehouse in 1982.
Crazy for You includes 'The Real American Folk Song (Is a Rag)', which was the Gershwin brothers' first song performed on Broadway.
The song 'Naughty Baby' saw its debut in Crazy for You, despite being from the musical Primrose, which played in London and Australia only.
Crazy for You opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre on February 19, 1992, and enjoyed 1,622 performances.
The original Broadway production included notable performances by Jodi Benson as Polly and Harry Groener as Bobby Child.
The West End debut of Crazy for You, starring Ruthie Henshall, opened on March 3, 1993 at the Prince Edward Theatre and ran for nearly three years.
