The New London Barn’s Producing Artistic Director Keith Coughlin directs and choreographs Crazy For You, the New Gershwin Musical. This madcap romantic comedy is packed with the dazzling music of the incomparable George and Ira Gershwin. This sparkling new adaptation of 1930’s Girl Crazy features jaw-dropping dancing and a cavalcade of immortal melodies, including Slap that Bass, I Got Rhythm, Embraceable You, and Someone to Watch Over Me.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Barn regulars Sara Schoch and Marc Willis. Schoch was last seen as Miss Jones in this summer’s How To Succeed…. Other notable appearances on the Barn stage include Princess Puffer in The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2015 NHTA Winner Best Actress in a Musical), Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, and Mother in Ragtime (2012 NHTA for Best Actress in a Musical).

Willis was seen earlier this summer as Andrew McLaren in Brigadoon and Bert Bratt in How To Succeed…. Also back on the Barn stage is Elliott Cunningham (Wolf in this summer’s Shrek The Musical) and Amanda Rafuse (Truvy in last summer’s Steel Magnolias).

Making their Barn debuts are Matt Gibson (Broadway: Gypsy; Off-Broadway: The Underclassmen, A New Girl in Town) and Matthew Patrick Quinn (multiple shows for Disney Cruise Line, The Addams Family at Gateway and Ogunquit Playhouses, and the international tour of Scooby Doo LIVE!).
