All Shook Up
November 5 - January 3, 2009

 

Heat up the season with this sizzling, energetic musical told through more than 24 of the greatest Elvis Presley songs, including “Love Me Tender,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Don’t be Cruel,” these rock-n-roll hits are sung by the roustabout, the female mechanic, and every other quirky character in this feel-good musical. Follow “tall, dark, and handsome” into a small, quiet Midwestern town that boasts One Diner, One Bar, and One Car Shop. All it takes is a little “rock” swagger and song for the town to suddenly burst to life and create a feel-good story of zany love triangles, and laugh-out-loud comedy! Chad rides in to town with rebellion in his soul, music in his heart and a guitar strapped to his back. The young female mechanic becomes instantly love struck and falls head over heels for the Rebel as he Rocks the sleepiness out of the townspeople! Music, mishap and mischievous madness is sure to rock the house. Full of all the Elvis Presley songs you know and love, this show is perfect for everyone! All Shook Up is guaranteed to shake up your holiday season.

Reminiscent of Roustabout starring Elvis, mechanic Natalie immediately falls in love with charismatic rebel Chad. Trying to pass off as one of the guys to get closer to Chad, Natalie “greases” herself up and puts on a had to cover her hair and goes by the name of “Ed.” Hilarious mistaken identity, identity crisis and outlandish who-loves-who mix-ups ensue as the entire town comes to life and is forever changed through rock-n-roll. The amusing plot is set entirely to Elvis top hits which helps get the entire audience “All Shook Up” with excitement and fun. Whether or not you’re THE #1 fan of “the King,” you are guaranteed to be toe-tapping through all these greatest hits. Talkin’ Broadway’s Scott Cain says the show wisely never takes itself too seriously and with a knowing wink, is purposefully cheesy in spots which makes the absurdly hilarious plots all the more acceptable (Read the full review).

Here’s what Reviewers across the country are saying:

“…scores lots of points for fun and entertainment.” –Talkin’ Broadway

“…a cleverly-crafted, fictional love romp” – Syracuse Post

“At the end the audience jumped to their feet, having thoroughly enjoyed themselves.” – BlogCritic.org

“...it was so silly and deliciously funny, I wanted to dance on the grass” – Illinois State Journal Register
