Can’t jet off to New York City to catch a genuine Broadway production? Artists of Christian Talent will bring Broadway to you this month as the youth of Lake Highlands United Methodist Church present Crazy For You.

Based on the 1930 Gershwin musical Girl Crazy, the ACT show features some of George and Ira’s most memorable songs including “I Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” and “Embraceable You.”

Crazy For You is the story of Bobby Child, the wealthy son of a banking family, whose dream in life is to dance. Dejected after a failed audition in the Big Apple, he travels to the Wild West to foreclose on a dilapidated theater but decides instead to put on a show to win the love of Polly, the owner’s daughter. Along the way, the boy meets girl story becomes comically complicated by mistaken identities and crossed paths, but – in typical Gershwin fashion – love prevails.

Performances will be held at LHUMC at 7:30pm February 17, 23, 24 and 25, with a Sunday matinee February 19th at 2pm. The church is located at 9015 Plano Road. Advance tickets are $8 for all ages by emailing Paige Fugate here or (when available) are $10 at the door.
