Following a critically acclaimed season at the Watermill Theatre, producers Jamie Wilson, Gavin Kalin and the Watermill Theatre have announced that Tom Chambers will headline a national tour of Crazy For You.
Fresh from his roles in Top Hat, Private Lives, White Christmas and winning the 6th season of Strictly Come Dancing, Tom Chambers will play Jerry Travers. Caroline Flack is to play Irene. Caroline won the 12th season of Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 and is currently presenting ITV’s Love Island. Charlotte Wakefield will play Polly. Charlotte made her West End debut as Wendla in Spring Awakening and played Maria in The Sound Of Music to critical acclaim at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.
Opening at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on 17 August 2016, Crazy For You is the ultimate feel-good musical featuring a score of fabulous music by the legendary George and Ira Gershwin. Mistaken identities, plot twists, heartbreak, happiness and a wealth of memorable tunes, including I Got Rhythm, They Can’t Take That Away From Me, Nice Work If You Can Get It and Embraceable You, all feature in this exhilarating celebration of the great Broadway musicals.
Crazy For You is directed by The Watermill’s Artistic and Executive Director, Paul Hart, with musical arrangements by Catherine Jayes. It is choreographed by Nathan M. Wright and is designed by Diego Pitarch. Lighting design is by Howard Hudson with sound design by Tom Marshall.
