Hey all! A local theatre just announced some of their summer season, and All Shook Up is the first show. I was wondering if someone could explain this show to me other than that it is an Elvis jukebox musical. Thank you.

[Don't Tell Mama]

"It's the summer of 1955, and Natalie is a young woman in a small town in the American Midwest with dreams of hitting the road. Chad, a black-jacketed, rock and roll loving motorcyclist stops at the town's garage because his bike needs repair.

Chad is a charismatic rebel, and Natalie, the mechanic, immediately falls for him. She overhears him saying that he's had "a lot" of women but only travels with men. So Natalie covers her hair with a hat and puts motor oil on her face to approximate a beard, becoming "Ed", Chad's sidekick. Eventually Chad falls in love with "Ed"/Natalie, and, during a 24 hour period, brings rock and roll to the town and changes it forever."

(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Shook_Up_%28musical%29).

I usually hate going on Wiki, but sometimes it's the most accessible.

Apparently, it's based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (but with Elvis music).
