Original book by Joe DiPietro
Inspired by and featuring the hit songs of Elvis Presley

 

In 1955 a small, sleepy town in middle America is shaken with the arrival of a charismatic, guitar playing roustabout. Through the power of rock and roll the town is transformed and the residents’ lives changed forever. Heavily inspired by Shakespeare’s comedies the show is filled with laughs, love, disguises and 25 powerfully orchestrated Elvis hits.

 

All Shook Up is presented through special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.

Character Breakdown

NATALIE HALLER  (F#3-F5) – 20’s to 30s, a mechanic. Natalie is a dreamer beneath her somewhat tomboyish exterior. Dance skills an asset.

CHAD (F#2-A4) – 20’s to 30s, a charismatic, motorcycling, guitar-playing, leather-jacketed roustabout. Note that this character is NOT an Elvis impersonation. Dance Skills an asset.

 

JIM HALLER (Bb2-F#4) – 50’s, Natalie’s widowed father. Moves well.

SYLVIA (F3-F5) – 40s -50s the no-nonsense, owner of SYLVIA’S HONKY-TONK. Moves Well.

LORRAINE (C4-Eb5) – *Plays 16 – Sylvia’s 16-year-old daughter. Lorraine wants love and adventure and is getting tired of her mother’s apparently narrow view. Dance Skills an asset.

DENNIS (A2 – Bb4) – 20s to 30s a young, awkward, aspiring dentist, a romantic and poetic soul.  Dance skills an asset.

 

 

Character Breakdown

MISS SANDRA (E3-F5) – 30s to 40s the beautiful, intellectual caretaker of the town’s museum. Dance skills an asset but moves well.

MAYOR MATILDA HYDE (Bb3-C6) – 50 to 60, the town’s conservative mayor.

DEAN HYDE (D3-Bb4) – * Plays 16 – Matilda’s 16-year-old son. He has grown up at a military boarding school. Dean is rather sheltered and has been protected from the world by his staunch mother. Dance skills an asset.

SHERIFF EARL  – 50s-60, the law in town. Not a man of many words. Earl has been Matilda’s enforcer and support and though he often tries to get a word in he doesn’t until the final and most opportune moment. Will likely double as an Ensemble member.
