June 4th - July 5th
We are delighted to announce that the show for the summer season in 2009 at Kilworth House Theatre will be the exhilarating award-winning Gershwin musical ‘Crazy For You’.
This is the quintessential feel-good musical – where everybody sings, everybody dances and where anything on hand is used to make music. The glorious music and lyrics of the incomparable Gershwins reads like a listing from The Great American Songbook and includes such classics as ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’, ‘Embraceable You’, ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’, ‘Nice Work If You Can Get It’ and the show-stopping ‘I Got Rhythm’.
The Wild West has never been so wild as tap-dancing cowboys and beautiful Follies girls join forces to create an exuberant, toe-tapping song and dance extravaganza.
Who could ask for anything more?
‘Crazy for You’ opens at Kilworth House Theatre on June 4th and runs until July 5th 2009.
