Character List All Shook Up is a 2005 “jukebox” musical comedy built around a number of songs made famous by Elvis Presley. It's NOT a biographical revue. The story is based on William Shakespeare’s 1602 play Twelfth Night. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl's dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and of course the title tune, “All Shook Up”. Character List Name Vocal Part Natalie Heller/Ed Alto Chad Baritone Jim Haller Baritone Miss Sandra Alto Dean Hyde Tenor Lorraine Belt Sheriff Earl Baritone Mayor Matilda Hyde Alto Dennis Tenor Sylvia Belt The Ensemble will play numerous singing/dancing roles in the show. The inmates, barflies, statues, devilettes, angels, townspeople, guys, gals, etc. will all be cast from the ensemble, as well as a few small speaking roles. The ensemble or part of the ensemble perform in 15 of the musical numbers and provide a backdrop for a majority of the scenes. We will be looking to cast a small ensemble of big voices and above average dancers. Description of Characters Female Roles LEADS Natalie is a young girl who dreams of falling in love with a special guy. She lives with her father, Jim, and helps him run his gas station. She’s an excellent mechanic and more at home in coveralls than a dress. Miss Sandra is the beautiful curator of the town museum and becomes the love interest that Natalie wishes to have for her own. Beautiful and intelligent, she wants substance in a guy. Lorraine is the daughter of Sylvia, who runs the local honky tonk/blues nightstop and bar. She is also looking for youthful love. Sylvia is the owner of the local nightstop and bar where folks gather to have a good time with good music be it rock or blues. She is very aware that she and her daughter are from “the wrong side of the tracks”. She’s a bit similar to HAIRSPRAY’s Motormouth Maybelle. Mayor Matilda Hyde is very conservative and wants to keep the devil out of her town. Her son, Dean, is being shipped off to a military school because he’s become too cozy with Lorraine. MALE LEADS Chad is a loner and a young rebel in the James dean, Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley mold. He drove his motorcycle into a small but conservative town where he finds several opportunities for love. Dennis is a young man who is in love with Natalie, but who Natalie is only interested in as a friend. Dennis would do anything for Natalie, but eventually finds love in Miss Sandra. Dean is the son of the conservative mayor, Matlida, who will send him off to military school. He becomes interested in and the love interest of Lorraine. Jim is Natalie’s father and he, too, is looking for love. He misses his deceased wife, but eventually finds love in the person of Miss Sylvia. Sheriff Earl has been enforcing the consistently conservative laws of the town under the leadership of Ms. Matilda. They eventually find one another. .

  • Art Entertainment Complex—Opened in March and Is an Extraordinary Place Memphis, TN Honoring the Late King of Rock ’N’ Roll, but Graceland Remains the Crown Jewel
    On The Scene * OUT+ABOUT THE KING’S CASTLE Elvis Presley’s Memphis—a $45-million, 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the- art entertainment complex—opened in March and is an extraordinary place Memphis, TN honoring the late king of rock ’n’ roll, but Graceland remains the crown jewel. STORY & PHOTOS: MARY ANN DESANTIS f it’s been awhile since you visited Elvis Presley’s Graceland, things have changed Ithis year—not so much with the Colonial Re- vival-style mansion itself, but with the 40 acres across the street where the new Elvis Presley’s Memphis attraction sits. After all, the home will always look the way it did when Elvis died 40 years ago because fans have a burning love for the place and want it to remain the way the king left it. But the tours are more organized than they were when the home first opened to the public…and there is a lot more to see. The best way to describe Elvis Presley’s Memphis is to imagine a theme park that is “all Elvis.” From his lean years as a U.S. Army private to his extensive car collection in Presley Motors, including his pink Cadillac, the “streets” are lined with everything Elvis. I grew up watching Elvis’ movies, so for fans like me there’s even a big screen theater showing his old movies—all day. The attraction’s cornerstone is “Elvis: The Entertainer,” an entire section dedicated to Elvis’ music, movies, and live touring career. Featuring hundreds of artifacts from the extensive Graceland archives—including his collection of gold and platinum records On The Scene * OUT+ABOUT THE GUEST HOUSE It’s a long way from a heartbreak hotel to The Guest House, the 450-room luxury resort adjacent to Graceland that opened in 2016.
