Crazy for You is a high-energy stage musical that tells the story of Bobby Child, a wealthy New York banker with dreams of becoming a Broadway star.

Determined to win her heart and save the theatre, he disguises himself as famous director Bela Zangler to stage a spectacular show with the locals. Filled with mistaken identities, comedic mishaps, and classic Gershwin songs like ‘I Got Rhythm’ and ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’, Crazy for You is a feel-good romantic comedy that celebrates the magic of musical theatre.

RUDE SCIENCE
Tuesday 15th April 2025
Brace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive new show, packed with outrageous science stunts. On the surface it’s a riot of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences but under the bonnet it’s a brilliantly-constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science. Expect enormous bottoms, fart machines, snot cocktails, vast whoopee cushions, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins in this celebration of the fascinating bodily science essential to life. The show transforms complex biology, physics and chemistry into educational hilarity using Stef’s signature stunts and encyclopaedic science knowledge.
