The final production of the season, playing 28 July to 10 September, is George and Ira Gershwins’ hit musical comedy, Crazy for You. Packed full of classic songs including “I Got Rhythm”, “Someone To Watch Over Me”, and “Embraceable You”, the creative team behind the multi-award winning production of Hello, Dolly! reunite including director Timothy Sheader and choreographer Stephen Mear.
