"George and Ira Gershwin wrote dozens of famous songs, including "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Embraceable You," and the duo is regarded as one of the main contributors to the Great American Songbook. With George's skilled and joyous compositions and Ira's witty and succinct lyrics, it's easy to see how so many of the songs these brothers wrote became world famous and how they found success both on Broadway and in Hollywood. Arizona Broadway Theatre is presenting a fun and spirited evening dedicated to these famous siblings entitled Crazy for Gershwin that features four Phoenix-based performers who have collectively appeared in dozens of ABT productions, including ABT's Associate Artistic Director Kurtis Overby, who directed, choreographed and conceived this upbeat and crowd-pleasing revue..." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"...Kurtis Overby's sterling tribute to the prolific brothers, George and Ira, in Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of CRAZY FOR GERSHWIN....a joyful celebration of memorable show tunes...It is also (applause!) a marvelous and welcome showcase for the prowess and personalities of three of the Valley's most popular performers: Liz Fallon, Jamie Parnell, and Carolyn McPhee....Overby's staging and choreography continues in the tradition of excellence and quality that he has brought to ABT for the last eight years...." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
