All Shook Up! The Musical Theatre Spring Play is less than two weeks away! "All Shook Up" had its pre-Broadway try-out here in Chicago in 2004 and opened on Broadway in 2005. The show reimagines several of Shakespeare’s storylines ("Twelfth Night" and "Romeo and Juliet", among others) set in small-town America in the mid-1950’s with all the songs that Elvis Presley made famous as its score.
