On Wednesday, August 10, ABC's "Good Morning America" will feature a live performance in Times Square of  "Jailhouse Rock" as well an exclusive backstage tour with meteorologist Tony Perkins at the Palace theater with stars Jenn Gambatese and Cheyenne Jackson.  Then, on Wednesday, September 14th,  Jackson and Gambatese will perform "Follow That Dream" on Erica Kane's (portrayed by Susan Lucci) fictitious talk show on a special, star-studded episode of the top-rated daytime drama "All My Children."  Jackson had previously been interviewed (on Sunday, August 7th) on A&E's "Breakfast with the Arts."

All Shook Up refers to what happens to a small town in 1955 when a pelvis-thrusting rebel opens the eyes of its people to life and music.  Jackson plays the rocking free-thinker in the show, while Gambatese plays romantic young garage mechanic Natalie.  Jonathan Hadary, Leah Hocking, John Jellison, Mark Price, Alix Korey and Sharon Wilkins are also featured in the show.  Set to the songs of Elvis Presley, All Shook Up features a book by Joe DiPietro, direction by Christopher Ashley, and choreography by Ken Roberson.  The show currently runs at the Palace Theatre (1564 Broadway), where it opened on March 24th.

Jackson's previous Broadway credits include Thoroughly Modern Millie and Aida (as a standby for Radames). He was among the premiere cast of Altar Boyz, is a member of the Broadway Inspirational Voices, and has appeared regionally in West Side Story, The Most Happy Fella, Children of Eden, Hair, Carousel, Damn Yankees and Kismet.  Gambatese has appeared on Broadway in Hairspray (she was a replacement for Penny), A Year with Frog and Toad and Footloose; she appeared in both the European and national tours of Fame as well as performing off-Broadway in Reefer Madness.
