Crazy Love tells the story of a high school star quarterback, Chase, who goes insane from an on-again off-again relationship with his girlfriend Cada.
Chase is the prototypical jock, star of the local high school football team and a top recruit for Division I colleges. Chase’s dad, Mark, is an overbearing football coach who pressures his son to become a pro football player. Kelly, his mom, coaches the cheerleading team and is more concerned with Chase’s mental and emotional well-being than his football career but unfortunately her voice is rarely heard. Cada is an outsider, a student at the same high school whose father, Brett, is an abusive alcoholic, and whose mother died several years ago.
In addition to the above-song list, below are some songs featured in the musical.
A deep debt of gratitude is also owed to Jonathan Roxmouth (Phantom, POTO World Tour), Lena Chung (Greatest Showman) who did all of the original recordings from the show, as well as Samuel Tolley and Raechelle Denae who demoed many of the original songs, as well as Yves Matar for his brilliant orchestrations, and Yonghee Park and Vic Cuccia for their great engineering work.
