Everyone's in love

Everyone falls in love in “All Shook Up” - even Shakespeare and Elvis.

The first show of the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse's 2008 season tangles the romantic web of the Bard's “Twelfth Night” with the rocking tunes of the King. The motorcycle-riding, loud music-loving charms of Chad sweep up a small midwestern town when he stops at a garage there to repair his bike. His refreshing zeal for fast-living attracts the affections of Natalie, the mechanic, who paints her cheeks with motor oil to befriend Chad as “Ed.”

Chad's arrival also sparks several more amorous quests among the townspeople, whose pursuits must conquer the conservative attitudes of the time if they're to win the hearts they covet.
