Crazy For You Review

Recently I had the pleasure to choreograph Crazy for You for the Downey Civic Light Opera.  The show was directed and produced by Marsha Moode and Eddy Clement was the musical director.  The show opened on Friday, September 28th, 2012.

The show received great audition response as well some fantastic reviews.  Links to reviews below..
