Book by:  Joe Dipietro

Inspired by and featuring the songs of

Elvis Presley

Directed & Choreographed by Emily F. Chateau

All Shook Up mixes a little bit of Shakespeare with a whole lot of Elvis.  The whole family will be dancing around in their blue suede shoes.  The action is set in Smalltown, USA in around 1955.  When a rolling roustabout with a song in his soul and an eye for the ladies rambles into town on his motorcycle, guitar slung over the leather jacket, everyone eventually responds with new attitudes and welcome results.

Just as in Shakespeare's lighthearted comedies, everyone falls under love's spell, but with the "wrong" person.  Dennis the town nerd, loves grease monkey Natalie who loves the roustabout Chad.  Chad falls for the museum curator Miss Sandra who is a sucker for men bearing poetry but not for Jim, the man who pines for her.  It gets even more complicated, however, because - just like in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night - there is a character who undergoes some gender bending in order to get close to the one she loves.  Add to all that the changing cultural climate of the 1950's America and you get "The best retro rock show since Grease" (NBC). 

Among the songs featured are classics such as "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and of course the title tune.
