Quarter 3: Journal 13: Crazy for You

I saw the musical last night, and first and foremost, great job to everyone who was in the cast and crew! It was really good! The story itself is actually a really nice story. It starts off with the protagonist Bobby Child, who wants to dance for the rest of his life, being controlled by his mother (go Margo) and his "fiance." (I don't think he's actually engaged to her.) Anyway, his choice is to stay with his wife and mother, or go out and try and foreclose some town as a banker in Dead Rock, Nevada. For his sanity, he gets to Dead Rock as soon as he can. There, he meets a girl who is trying to keep the town alive, Polly Baker. She hates Bobby Child for trying to take her town away from her, but he falls in love with her at first encounter. After Bobby and Polly plan to put on a show, to raise the money so the town won't have to be foreclosed. Then, Polly finds out that Bobby is actually Bobby, and doesn't trust him anymore. Then, Bobby calls in his showgirl friends from New York, and he dresses up as Bella Zangler, the owner of the showgirls, who Polly falls in love with. Then, he tries to convince her that he's actually Bobby Child, but she doesn't believe him. After their first show fails, the real Bella Zangler shows up and pays off the debt of the foreclosure. Then, Polly and Bobby get together, and live happily ever after. I thought that this was a good musical because of the story, and how well thought out it is. Maybe I'm a bit of a sap for love stories, but you should go see the AHS players present this show.
