This is part of the Encores! series of concert-style revivals of old musicals. Girl Crazy, the Gershwins' fanciful Depression-era musical of 1930, is the tale of a sophisticated New Yorker marooned in a dusty Western cowtown with no one who understands him but the Yiddish-speaking cabbie who brought him there and no one to love but the only woman within 50 miles. The show gave birth to one of the all-time flashiest Broadway scores, featuring "I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You," "But Not For Me," and "Boy! What Love Has Done To Me," among others. Girl Crazy opened at the Alvin Theatre on October 14, 1930 and ran for 272 performances.
