If nostalgia is your game and Gershwin tunes are your jam, it's high time to swing by the Granville Arts Center where Garland Summer Musicals is throwing it back with their production of “Crazy For You.” Pegged as a classic feel-good musical romp, the show promises to deliver a toe-tapping, knee-slapping good time with a cornucopia of George and Ira Gershwin's most beloved hits.
The plot's as simple as apple pie – boy meets girl, boy and girl put differences aside, a theater needs saving, and love saves the day, featuring favorites such as “Can’t Be Bothered Now,” “Slap That Bass,” and the soul-stirring “Someone To Watch Over Me” which are just a sliver of the old-school charm baked into this homage to the 1930’s musical era, it's a theatrical experience that aims to please crowds looking for an escape into a zany blend of showbiz savvy and cowboy logic.
Garland Summer Musicals isn't skimping on accessibility, offering showings across two weekends which start from Friday, July 19, to Sunday, July 28, including matinee shows at 2:30 PM for those who fancy an earlier outing. Tickets are a straight shot to a bygone era, with regular pricing set at $40, while certain groups – namely seniors, students, and groups of 15 or more – can snag a seat at reduced rates ranging from $30 to $35, according to the City of Garland.
The Granville Arts Center is gearing up to be the hub of histrionic nostalgia, situated right at 300 N 5th St., Garland, TX, where it seems everyone's invited to partake in the classic tale of theatric triumph and tap-dancing high jinks, with additional support for wheelchair-accessible viewing priced at $30, so just about anyone looking to capture a bit of that old razzle-dazzle has a place reserved for them.
