Words and Music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. .
Leiber and Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock 'n' roll and now their songs provide the basis for an electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of American culture. In an idealized '50's setting, the classic themes of love won, lost and imagined blend with hilarious set-pieces and slice-of-life emotions.
The songlist:
Neighborhood, Young Blood, Falling, Ruby Baby, Dance With Me, Keep On Rollin', Searchin', Kansas City, Love Me/Don't, Fools Fall in Love, Poison Ivy, Don Juan, Shoppin' for Clothes, I Keep Forgettin', On Broadway, D.W. Washburn, Saved, Baby That Is Rock & Roll, Yakety Yak, Charlie Brown, Stay a While, Pearl's a Singer, Teach Me How to Shimmy, You're the Boss, Loving You, Treat Me Nice, Hound Dog, Little Egypt, I'm a Woman, There Goes My Baby, Love Potion #9, Some Cats Know, Jailhouse Rock, Spanish Harlem, I (Who Have Nothing), Stand By Me.
This show promises to be a toe tapping trip through the 1950's music history.
