All Shook Up - Stephenville Theatre Festival
2025-08-13 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-08-14 19:30 - 22:00 UTC
All Shook UpMusic from the Elvis Presley songbookBook by Joe DiPietro
Set in a small town in the 1950’s, this crowd-pleasing musical is an energetic re-imagining of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley®. One night, a motorcycle riding rock’n’roller pulls into town and changes everything and everyone he meets. With a story of hidden love and mistaken identity, this jukebox musical is a hip-swiveling, lip-curling fantasy that will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”
