Review from Londonist:
Yes, we're sure it was pretty overwhelming but the Showtime Challenge Crazy For You was truly fabulous, hilarious and astonishing. Within a rehearsal period of 48 hours they cut no corners, trimmed down no dance numbers nor toned down any tap dancing.
The saloon bar 'battles' were intricate and thrilling whilst the barnstorming ensemble for "I've got Rhythm" was irresistible, the stage literally teeming with performers bubbling over with joy. The Palladium was buzzing with excitement, the audience as expectant and excited as the cast. No one cared about moustaches that didn't stick properly, mikes that went haywire and the odd wrong foot here and there.
Crazy for You is essentially a daft feelgood musical with everyone rooting for the country gal and the city boy to get it together through the medium of dance and song and somehow it all worked: spectacle, comedy, romance, heartbreak, farce, resolution, happy ending.
These adventurous souls clearly had a whale of a time throwing it all together, putting heart and soul into a spectacular one-off performance.
