EXCLUSIVE: Susan Storman, the celebrated Broadway director and choreographer, has revealed that an acclaimed UK revival of musical comedy Crazy for You, which features show-stopping numbers from the George and Ira Gershwin songbook, will transfer from the Chichester Festival Theater into Andrew Lloyd Webber’s LW Theatres-owned Gillian Lynne Theatre for a strictly limited 30-week West End season from June 24.
Opening night is July 3. The production with British stars Charlie Stemp and Carly Anderson played to packed houses during an eight-week summer run at Chichester.
It’s a coming home of sorts for Stroman, who won the Tony Award for Best Choreography when Crazy for You opened on Broadway in 1992.
