Loosely based on William Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night,” All Shook Up takes audiences to post-WWII America in the 1950s to experience the awakening of an unnamed American town and its repressed residents when leather-clad guitar-strumming roustabout Chad (Christopher Lewisrolls over the city line. Other featured characters include Natalie (Gwynne Wood*) and Sylvia (Carolyn Saxon*). 

Directed by Arthur Gomez and choreographed by Larry Sousa, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical romp 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."  A fun, high-spirited show filled with Shakespearean-inspired mix-ups and confusion, All Shook Up immerses audiences with over 25 of Elvis Presley's more memorable and beloved hits. Under the musical direction of Mindy Cimini, the countless electrifying musical numbers will make it hard for RMT audience members not to groove along in their seats!

The All Shook Up creative team includes Janie Howland (Set Designer), Frank Meissner Jr. (Lighting Designer), Johnny Cagno and Brian Simons of Emerald City Theatrical Costumes (Costume Designers), and  Sebastian Nixon (Sound Designer). 

Time: 150 Minutes + 15-minute intermission
