Girl Crazy (1930), a musical comedy by Guy
Bolton, John
McGowan (book), George
Gershwin (music), Ira
Gershwin (lyrics). [Alvin Theatre, 272 perf.] To keep him from nightclubs, gambling casinos, and women, Mr. Churchill sends his son Danny ( Allen
Kearns) to Custerville, Arizona, to run a dude ranch. Danny hires New York taxi driver Gieber Goldfarb ( Willie
Howard) for the journey, and soon after their arrival Danny has transformed the ranch into a club with gambling rooms and bevies of girls. But he falls in love with Molly Gray ( Ginger Rogers) and woos and wins her with the help of Kate Fothergill ( Ethel
Merman), daughter of the local saloonkeeper.
Notable songs: Bidin' My Time; But Not for Me; Embraceable You; I Got Rhythm; Sam and Delilah; Boy! What Love Has Done to Me! The Alex A. Aarons and Vinton
Freedley production was the last traditional musical comedy by the Gershwins before they attempted their political satires. Merman made a sensational debut singing “I Got Rhythm” and “Sam and Delilah,” and it made her a star. In 1992 a revised version of the musical titled
CRAZY FOR YOU opened at the
Shubert Theatre and ran 1,622 performances, winning the
Tony Award. Ken Ludwig wrote the new libretto that worked in some Gershwin standards from other plays and films, and Harry Groener and Jodi Benson were featured as the primary couple, though Susan
Stroman's exuberant choreography was the show's real star.
