WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Girl Crazy, the Gershwin's fanciful depression-era musical of 1930, is the tale of a sophisticated New Yorker marooned in a dusty Western cow town with no one who understands him but the Yiddish-speaking cabbie who brought him there and no one to love but the only woman within 50 miles.
The show gave birth to one of the all-time flashiest Broadway scores, featuring "I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You," "But Not for Me" and "Bidin' My Time," among others.

An oversize cartoonish quality pervades Jerry Zaks' staging of Girl Crazy, now being presented by City Center Encores! From the cutouts of cacti that dot the horizon just above the orchestra (crisply conducted by Rob Fisher) to Peter Kaczorowski's zealously colorful lighting to many of the performances, this is a production that revels in the screwball zaniness of the story (book by Guy Bolton and Jack McGowan, adapted by David Ives).
