Shakespeare meets
James Dean, set to the music of Elvis Presley! Glenwood High School is proud to
present the 2005 Broadway hit, “All Shook Up” in March 2015. Combining
favourite Elvis Presley songs with a sure-fire rock’n’roll story “All Shook Up” will ride into the
Mvinjelwa Johannes Mhlongo Hall at Glenwood High School in Glenwood from March
23 to 27.
The clever book by
Joe DiPietro (Tony award-winning Memphis,
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) features 24 Presley classic hit
songs including Heartbreak Hotel, Burning
Love, Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, It’s Now or Never, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound
Dog, Can’t Help Falling In Love, and Fools
Rush In. The songs are unforgettable; the dancing is incredible! This
well-tuned hot-rod musical promises to have the entire family jumpin’ out of
their blue suede shoes!
All Shook Up is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and tells the story of a
guitar playing roustabout, Chad, who rides into a struggling Midwest town and
changes it forever with the power of love and rock-and-roll. The show is
hilarious, fresh fun for all ages!
All Shook Up is produced and directed by Ian Schoeman
with musical direction by Melvin Peters, vocal direction by Haylea Hounsom and
choreography by Fiona Barnes. It features a cast of the best and brightest
Durban youth and ages 13 to 18. Stage and set design is by Patrick and Karl
Flynn from STYLEbudd. (www.stylebudd.co.za)
