Broadway Play All Shook Up

Palace Theatre

1564 Broadway

New York, New York

The new Broadway musical hit in town "All Shook Up" is playing at the Palace Theatre on Broadway in New York City. This is a "do NOT miss" event. If you enjoy a good story, lots of wonderful music (all Elvis Presley songs), fantastic talent and a good time - this is the show! "All Shook Up" is set in 1955 and is about a hip-swiveling, guitar-playing stranger (Cheyenne Jackson) who comes to town to fall in love with a sweet young local girl (Jenn Gambatese) who dreams of leaving her sleepy town for the more exciting big city life. This is not a musical review, however, all the songs are Elvis Presley's. This story of romance and dreams is based around the songs of Elvis Presley.
