All Shook Up at Theatre at the Center

Based on the book by Joe DiPietro and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley, All Shook Up opens at the Theatre at the Center on July 16 and runs through August 16, 2015. Loosely based on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and the music of Elvis Presley, All Shook Up is set in the Midwest in 1955. The story follows Natalie, a young girl with dreams of hitting the road, and Chad, a charismatic roustabout who brings rock and roll to the town and changes it forever. Hailed as "the best rock show since Grease", this hip-swiveling, lip-curling, action-packed musical will have audiences jumpin' out of their blue suede shoes with 24 Elvis classics, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Jailhouse Rock," "All Shook Up," "Love Me Tender," and "Don't Be Cruel."
