Bill Kellert states “it is the music, 24 Presley hits and dancing that makes this show so very worthwhile. It’s fun, engaging and nostalgic without ever feeling dated or passe. Not an easy feat to accomplish, and this cast and crew do it without ever breaking a sweat.”Nippertown
“Spencer Stanley is superb as Chad the roustabout, putting his own spin on the Presley classics including “Jailhouse Rock,” “Roustabout,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” and the iconic “Burning Love.” Stanley never tries to imitate The King, though he does have Presley’s swiveling hip movements down to an art form.”
“The most spectacular parts of the show are the chorus numbers, magnificently re-imagined vocals of classic hits. “Can’t Help Falling In Love” sends chills down your spine with the combination of choreography, lighting and vocals.”
“If I am so glad I saw the show. I suspect you will feel the same when you see it, and I urge you to hasten to The Mac-Haydn in Chatham, New York.” says Peter Bergman for Berkshire Edge
“The songs from the Presley can work wonderfully in this peculiar play, literally shaking up the story and rattling the characters. It is all obvious under the fine direction of David Alpert and the expert choreography of Andrew Turteltaub.”
“The outstanding cast of the Mac-Haydn Theatre shakes their hips, sings their hearts out and absolutely dazzles in All Shook Up” says Paula Kaplan Reiss for Berkshire on Stage
“Kelley, as Sylvia, a role she has played before, often steals the stage whenever she appears. She is strong, wise, funny and has a voice that fills the theater. We all fall in love with her. She is the heart of the show.”
“Choreography by Andrew Turteltaub is top-notch on a relatively small thrust stage. A special shout-out to ensemble member, Tanner Kirol. A trained ballet dancer, his dancing draws attention in every group number.”
“I didn’t need to see Elvis to fall in love with this production of All Shook Up. I just couldn’t help it. Thank you very much.”
