All Shook Up

Springers present ALL SHOOK UP! at the Civic Theatre Chelmsford, June 2012.

 

Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley. Book by Joe Dipietro.

 

All Shook Up is a new musical comedy built around a number of songs made famous by Elvis Presley. It’s NOT a biographical revue. 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.
