All Shook Up
“This young lady had done a remarkable job in giving clear and decisive leadership to the cast. What an achievement to get both sets of principals to portray the same character whilst allowing them to input their own personalities. She had brought out the humour of the script and taught the young cast good comic timing. Her staging was super with good groupings spacing and entrances and exits. There were some lovely touches throughout; especially the freezes the statues and Dennis’s leap into Miss Sandra’s arms which enhanced the overall performance greatly. The whole piece had good pace copious energy and terrific flow culminating in an enjoyable and entertaining piece of theatre.”
The music of Elvis comes alive in All Shook Up. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, All Shook Up follows a small Midwestern town that is thrown into a frenzy with the arrival of Chad, a good-looking, motorcycle-riding roustabout, who rides from town to town with a guitar on his back, blue suede shoes on his feet, and a song in his heart. Repressed by their conservative mayor, the town begins to come alive once more under Chad’s influence. Lovers meet, woo, pursue, and more, all in one zany night that will change the town forever. All Shook Up is a rocking, heartwarming tale about following dreams, opening up to love, and the power of music.
