Daily Echo (Tuesday 15 March 2005)
"INCORPORATING some of the best known Gershwin melodies,
Crazy For You is a vibrant and colourful extravaganza. Wezley Sebastian
created a real feast of movement with some ambitious and demanding
choreography, although at times the company struggled to remember all the
routines. Ben James (Bobby) sang and danced with enthusiasm throughout. A
beautifully modulated routine with Danny Owen (Zangler) had just the right
amount of drunken lack of control. The fluid and relaxed style suited his
talents well. Sarah Murray (Polly) gave an energetic and enjoyable
performance. However, her relationship with Bobby lacked chemistry despite
the excellent dance routines. There were some technical difficulties and the
set, although effective, seemed too large for the stage and caused problems
for the company. The sound was a little disappointing, though the performers
did their best with the support of the excellent orchestra under the musical
direction of Susan Denison Burnett. Ends Saturday." Gwen Moulster
