The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and the Manitoba Bar Association will present Crazy for You from May 5 to 9, 2026 at the Tom Hendry Warehouse. The annual Lawyers Play is one of Royal MTC’s largest fundraisers, helping to bring bold and exciting programming to the stage. The 2026 production, Crazy For You, is a zany rich boy-meets-hometown girl romantic comedy. Young New York banker Bobby Child is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre. Memorable tunes from the score include “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can't Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Adapted from the Gershwins' 1930 musical Girl Crazy, Crazy For You, the 1992 Broadway production of Crazy For You won three Tony Awards including Best Musical and ran for four years. Tickets for Crazy for You will be on sale February 24.
