♦♦♦♦♦ About the Show ♦♦♦♦♦
The songs of Elvis Presley form the backdrop for All Shook Up, a musical comedy tale of mistaken identity and the romance that ensues. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl's dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and of course the title tune.
