All Shook Up Launches 35-City National Tour Sept. 12th in Milwaukee

Combining all-time favorite Elvis Presley songs with a surefire rock'n'roll story, All Shook Up, the musical that took Broadway by storm last season, will launch a 35-city First National tour starting September 12th at Milwaukee's Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Featuring a 26-member company, All Shook Up tells the romantic tale of how a young girl's dream comes true when a guitar-playin' roustabout rides into a square state and turns the town upside down with his hip-swivelin', lip-curlin'and sexy song singin'.

The clever book is by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), with direction by Tony Award-nominee Christopher Ashley (The Rocky Horror Show), and features such classics as "Heartbreak Hotel", "Burning Love", "Jailhouse Rock", "Blue Suede Shoes," "It's Now or Never," and "Don't Be Cruel." Sergio Trujillo, who is currently represented on Broadway with the hit musical "Jersey Boys," will choreograph this well tuned hot-rod musical that took Broadway by storm and guarantees to have your entire family jumpin' out of their blue suede shoes!

Producers Richard Martini, Allen Spivak and Albert Nocciolino will reunite the original Broadway design team, including set designer David Rockwell, costumes designer David C. Woolard and lighting designer Donald Holder for the 2006-07 tour.
