Yes, Elvis is in the building at Landis Performing Arts Center, with Performance Riversides 2009-2010 season opener, the Inland Empire premiere of All Shook Up. With 20 classic Elvis Presley hits, All Shook Up promises to have audiences swiveling their hips and rockin right out of their blue suede shoes to "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel", and much more. The show is directed and choreographed by John Vaughan, produced by Rey O Day, and musically directed by Allen Everman, with an orchestra conducted by Scott. T. Smith.
All Shook Up tells the story of a Natalie (South Pacifics Alyssa Marie), a small town girl with big dreams and Chad (Rob Thompson), the motorcycle-riding roustabout she falls for.

Our rehearsals have reminded me of how memorable Elvis music is. says Performance Riverside producing Artistic Director Rey ODay. I think audiences will find themselves tapping their feet and humming along to these rock and roll classics we love so much, as they rediscover the freedom of dance, the magic of romance, and the power of rock and roll.
