The London Evening Standard
July 4th, 2023

“The show has a delirious weightlessness: for 150 minutes, you’re lifted out of care, and logic.”

The Guardian (UK)

"It is a divine production that leaves us giddy, capturing the stock romance between the central couple but also the soaring romance of theatre, with its stars and sawdust allure. If there is one fluffy summer musical to watch, let this be your guilty pleasure."

“ Stemp busts a gut doing what he does best: delivering winning smiles, soulful singing and immaculate footwork, turning on a sixpence between the graceful and the goonish...he’s worth the price of admission alone. But the whole ensemble are a sight, and a joy, to behold too. Go.”

“Susan Stroman's ‘Crazy For You’ is pure musical theatre heaven...Beowulf Boritt’s sets, William Ivey Long’s costumes and Ken Billington’s lighting are all swoon-worthy: it feels like tumbling into a Golden Age MGM musical.

“It’s ludicrous. It’s lavish. And finally the romantic-comical shenanigans set to some of the greatest hits of George and Ira Gershwin is resistance-is-futile lovely too.”

“Stroman delivers surprise after surprise, intertwining expertly executed pratfalls with choreographic virtuosity...there’s not a moment here that doesn’t delight. Who could ask for anything more? Perfection.”
