Smokey Joe's Cafe at WaterTower Theatre

Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
Directed by Terry Martin

This exuberant musical sails and soars and is 'smokin' hot!" As much as anyone, Leiber and Stoller invented rock n' roll. Their timeless songs are the basis for this electrifying entertainment. Smokey Joe's Cafe transforms classic pop music into compelling musical theatre. Featuring over 40 of the greatest pop songs ever recorded, including such hits as: "On Broadway," "Jailhouse Rock," "Fools Fall in Love," "Love Potion #9," "Yakety Yak," "Hound Dog," and "Stand by Me." Broadway's longest running musical revue is a high-octane, high-steppin' celebration of the songwriters who defined rock n' roll. Seven Tony nominations and a Grammy Award later, it still erupts with the witty, gritty tunes tattooed in our collective memories.
