Join musical theatre royalty, the multi-award winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman for a discussion of her much lauded career as she stages a major new revival of Crazy for You. The show transfers to the West End after a sold out, highly acclaimed season at Chichester Festival Theatre.

In conversation with the V&A’s Senior Curator of Theatre and Performance, Simon Sladen, she will look at what it is like to return to a show she originally choreographed three decades ago, and how a beloved classic replete with glorious Gershwin melodies can be reinterpreted for contemporary audiences.

Crazy for You will be at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in the West End from 24 June. Click here for more information.
