Manhattan Concert Productions' one-night-only 25th-anniversary concert version of Crazy for You may come to Broadway, according to a story in the New York Post. The event, which took place February 19 at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall, starred Broadway favorites Laura Osnes (Bandstand) and Tony Yazbeck (Finding Neverland). Joey Parnes (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) would produce.
Osnes and Yazbeck are rumored to lead the potential Broadway cast, which may feature the rest of the concert's ensemble. In addition to Osnes and Yazback, the production featured 30 Rock's Rachel Dratch and Jack McBrayer with Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Jerry O'Connell (Seminar).
The complete cast also included Mark Linn-Baker, Nancy Opel, Michael Biren, Jim Borstelmann, Christine Cornish-Smith, Jeremy Davis, Jerry Gallagher, Anne Horak, Rashaan James II, Naomi Kakuk, Amanda Kloots, Chris LeBeau, Alicia Lundgren, Brittany Marcin Maschmeyer, Kaylee Olson, Eric Santagata, Angie Schworer, and Victor Wisehart.
Five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, who won a Tony Award for choreographing the show's original production, directed and choreographed, with Kevin Stites as musical director and conductor.
