All Shook Up
Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, All Shook Up tells the all-new, yet somewhat familiar, story of a square little town in the middle of a square state in the middle of a square decade. Then in rides a guitar-playin' roustabout who changes everything and kick-starts a hip-swivelin' musical fantasy that will have you jumpin' out of your blue suede shoes! Performing at the Moore Theatre in April, you won't want to miss the show!
