Synopsis
Danny, a wealthy Manhattan playboy, is sent West by his father to manage his family’s ranch and learn to focus on business. He finds himself in Custerville, Arizona, a sleepy town with a mostly male population. Danny quickly turns his family ranch into a dude ranch, importing Broadway showgirls and trying to make money off of tourists. While shaking up the town, Danny finds himself falling in love with Molly, the local postmistress. Girl Crazy is the pre-Golden Age musical that inspired Crazy for You. Filled with the beloved songs of George and Ira Gershwin, Girl Crazy is a charming romantic musical comedy that will have audiences dancing in their seats.
