The Original Broadway cast included Beth Leavel as Tess, Stacey Logan as Patsy, Harry Groener as Bobby Child, Bruce Adler as Bela Zanger, Judine Hawkins Richard as Sheila, and Paula Leggett as Mitzi. Broadway veteran Ronn Carroll was featured as Everett Baker and Jodi Benson as Polly.
Crazy for You won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1992.

Eugene Fodor
While Eugene Fodor is indeed the name of the founder of Fodor's Travel Guides, as implied by the fact that Eugene and Patricia are researching a guidebook to the American West, the character in the musical is highly fictionalized. The real Eugene Fodor was Hungarian-American, not British, and his first travel book was about Europe.
