"Crazy For You" has come full circle at San Marin. When San Marin Music first performed it in 2000, Samantha Maas-Baldwin and Kate Kenyon were two of the featured performers. Now Samantha, a full time music teacher at San Marin is assistant director, and Kate, a dance teacher at San Marin is the show’s choreographer. San Marin was also able to use a car and truck that were built by Harold Bexton and crew for the 2000 show in this year’s production.
Crazy For You is the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy, who's dream in life is to dance on stage. And despite the serious efforts of his mother and fiancée, Bobby achieves his dream!
