3D Theatrical Presents: All Shook Up at the OC Pavilion
Friday, February 5th 2010, 8:00pm
All Shook Up is a new musical comedy based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and built around a number of songs made famous by Elvis Presley. It's NOT a biographical revue. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl's dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and of course the title tune.
How Much : $75.00 - $124.00
