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.” –

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