Songs of Elvis Presley, Book by Joe DiPietro

As we are getting some very measurable snow in the Twin Cities metro, it’s a great day to stay at home and write of a review for the Juke Box musical All Shook Up that I went to Friday night at the Plymouth Playhouse to see this 4 Community Theatre production.

If you have been to the Plymouth Playhouse before, it’s a small stage. There are big things happening with this production of All Shook Up. 

It was such a fun evening of Elvis songs that caused me to be “all shook up!”.

This 2005 musical contains a wide catalog of Elvis Presley songs. Such as “All Shook Up”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Love Me Tender”, “Heartbreak Motel”, “Devil in Disguise”, “Don’t Be Cruel”, and many more.  According to the cast recording there’s 27 Elvis songs in the musical.  

The stage, before the musical begins

The story takes place in small U.S.A town in 1955. A motorcycle rider by the name of Chad arrives in town and starts shaking his hips to music. Mayor Matilda Hyde has put law and order in this small. Basically took all the fun out of living by banning public necking, loud music, and gyrating hips. Chad’s arrival brings romance, change, chaos, and the exploration of individuality. The town get’s “All Shook Up” in a good way.  

I liked the Set Design by Dan Sherman. During Act 1 there’s various scenes that take place on the street, a Honky Tonk Bar, a service gargage, a shoe shore, city museum and front and center of it all is a Juke Box. The back wall, behind the orchestra is lined with LP singles/45’s. For the second act, the stage is transformed to an abandoned amusement park. 

Director Greta Grosch, works with a talented cast to bring us a fun and entertaining evening of mirth and merriment. The cast consists of Cameron Roy Hall as Chad, Maddie Froehle as Natalie, and Kyle Yetzer as Chad, along with a strong ensemble. 

There’s only more weekend to catch All Shook Up. This musical runs through Sunday March 22, 2026 at the Plymouth Playhouse. Check out www.4comunitytheater.org for tickets.
