Crazy For You Reviews
Washington Post- Recommended
"...Signature’s production, directed by whiz-bang in-house star Matthew Gardiner, offers up some heady demonstrations of tap, courtesy of choreographer Denis Jones, and there’s even one heavenly number in which the ensemble wittily takes up washboards, saws, hooch jugs and emery boards to keep the beat.'
DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended
"...What a giddy, joyful afterimage of mouthwatering kinetic alchemy. Under the confident direction of chemistry-setter Mathew Gardiner, Signature Theatre has produced an irresistible Crazy for You. It is a musical built upon an enduring George and Ira Gershwin songbook of tantalizing standards, and an unstuffy connecting storyline by DC’s own Ken Ludwig."
MetroWeekly- Highly Recommended
"...The sparkling new production of the Gershwins’ and Ken Ludwig’s Crazy for You at Signature Theatre has more than just rhythm. The show’s got two marvelous leads, a lush songbook of Gershwin standards, and a chorus line stocked with former Rockettes kicking through some of the best dancing in any musical in town. Who could ask for anything more?"

"...If you are looking for first-class entertainment this holiday season, then look no further than Signature Theatre’s tap-dancing, musical extravaganza, “Crazy for You!”"
DCTheatreScene- Highly Recommended
"...If you’re in the market for a forget-your-cares, turn-off-your-brain live entertainment, you’ll not find a more flawlessly presented show this holiday season. Nothing can touch such classics as “I Got Rhythm” and “Embraceable You”, after all. You’re forgiven if the outdated moments or ticket price turn you off, but otherwise a good time is guaranteed."
BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended
"...Signature Theatre - probably best known for staging new musicals and Sondheim's works - may not be the first area theater to come to mind when you think of a light and fluffy, dance-heavy show. This holiday season, in a bit of a departure, you experience such a show up-close and personal with a production of the Tony Award-winning Crazy for You. Featuring some of George and Ira Gershwin's most beloved songs, an original book by Ken Ludwig, and a whole lotta tap, it's the kind of show that - based on pure concept alone - is perfect for the whole family to enjoy."
