ALL SHOOK UP is a hilarious and heartfelt musical with an original book by Joe DiPietro. It is 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.”
This is a high energy show with great harmonies and a lot of dancing. There are a number of featured roles, but the show is really driven by a very active ensemble.

ALL ROLES OPEN
(We welcome and encourage performers of all ethnicities to audition.)

JIM HALLER: (baritone) Natalie’s widowed father; middle-aged and messy, he still longs for his wife.
SYLVIA: (alto) Lorraine’s mother. The no-nonsense owner of “SYLVIA’S HONKY-TONK”. She is like a mother to Natalie and doesn’t let Matilda push her around. She is strong, sassy, and outspoken.
