Crazy for You  is a romantic love musical with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by George Gershwin.

Memorable Gershwin tunes include I Can't Be Bothered Now, Bidin' My Time, I Got Rhythm, Naughty Baby, They Can't Take That Away from Me, But Not for Me, Nice Work if You Can Get It, Embraceable You and Someone to Watch Over Me. It's a high energy comedy which includes mistaken identity, plot twists, fabulous dance numbers and classic Gershwin music.

SWEET CHARITY. 2015.

THE STORY OF A GIRL WHO WANTS TO BE LOVED!

 The story of dance hall hostess Charity Hope Valentine, an eternal optimist, who is forever unlucky in love. Her trusting nature and naiveté makes her prey for a succession of opportunistic men. The razor-sharp script lifts the veil on the exquisite agony of living on the under-side of life. This is a musical comedy with an edge.


Directed by Cllr Kieran McCarthy with music direction by David O Sullivan and choreography by Aileen Coffey, Cork City Musical Society promises to entertain you with a highly-theatrical, fast-paced and entertaining show, featuring such well-known musical numbers as If My Friends Could See Me Now, Big Spender and Rhythm of Life.
