The Mac-Haydn Theatre presents “All Shook Up,” a musical homage to Elvis Presley’s timeless songs and the pursuit of dreams. Loosely inspired by Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in a hip-swiveling, lip-curling extravaganza from August 1 through August 11.
Director David Alpert and Choreographer Andrew Turteltaub are making their Mac-Haydn debuts. Alpert currently serves as Creative Director for Tony Award winner Idina Menzel on her North American tour, “Take Me or Leave Me.” His prior Broadway credits include Associate Directing “If/Then,” “The Trip to Bountiful,” and assisting on the revival of “Guys and Dolls.” Under the musical direction of Matt Levinstein, Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, such as “Hound Dog,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “All Shook Up,” and “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” will come to life for the two-week run.
