In a choice between CRAZY FOR YOU and 42ND STREET, I would choose, in an ideal world, CRAZY FOR YOU because it has a great book and, of course, Gershwin score. The one big problem is CRAZY requires a MALE LEAD who is not just a great singer but a virtuoso tap dancer. They are pretty hard to find. Dance, yes. Sing, yes. Dance AND sing? And be a leading man?
42ND ST has a female lead who must be another Ann Miller. Easier to find, thanks to dance schools.
Tough call....
