ALL SHOOK UP is a hilarious and heartfelt musical with an original book by Joe DiPietro, creator of the Tony Award®-winning musical Memphis—which can also be found in the TRW catalogue.
Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it’s 1955 and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Featuring mega hits from the beloved Elvis® catalogue, this musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”
Bringing All Shook Up to your stage offers your community a delightful experience that celebrates the enduring legacy of Elvis Presley®. All Shook Up is more than just a musical—it’s a vibrant, joyous celebration of the power of love, the power of music, and the power of community.
