Rarely do audiences talk about the plot of Gershwin's Crazy for you, probably because it's not that important when you've got songs like ?I Got Rhythm?, ?Someone To Watch Over Me?, ?Embraceable You? and ?Nice Work If You Can Get It? on the bill.
For those who do require some semblance of a plot, it follows banker Bobby who desperate to be in theatre but is thwarted at every turn by his mother. When she sends him to foreclose a run down theatre in Nevada, Bobby falls in love with the owner's daughter and seizes the opportunity to be in showbiz.
