Synopsis: Inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley! It's 1955 and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing roustabout who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy that'll have you jumpin' out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as "Love Me Tender", "Heartbreak Hotel", Jailhouse Rock", "Burning Love" and "Don't Be Cruel". Will true love prevail? Will the power of music win the day? Will this small town in the Midwest survive getting all shook up? These questions and more are answered as the characters come together for a finale that will leave you all shook up!
