SYNOPSIS:

Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth night, All Shook Up tells the story of a small town girl (with big dreams), from somewhere in the middle of a square state…in the middle of a square decade…and the motorcycle-riding stud she falls for. Inspired by and featuring the songs of ELVIS PRESLEY.
Book by JOE DIPIETRO
