Clinton Area Showboat Theatre- All Shook Up
It’s 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing young man who shakes up everything and everyone he meets. A side-splitting musical farce that’s loosely based on the star-crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s comedies, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumping out of your blue suede shoes to classics like Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, I Can’t Help Falling In Love, Don’t Be Cruel, and more!
Clinton Area Showboat Theatre- Smokey Joe’s Café
Smokey Joe’s Cafe is the phenomenon that ran for 2,036 performances on Broadway and became the longest-running musical revue in history. In the context of a neighborhood remembering what it means to come together, songs like Stand By Me, On Broadway, I’m A Woman, Love Potion #9, Kansas City, Dance With Me, Spanish Harlem, I Keep Forgettin’ and more fill the show with themes of love won, love lost and life reimagined. Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock 'n' roll. Nearly 40 of their songs provide the basis for this electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of American music.
