Set to the chart-topping hits of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, himself, Elvis Presley, and based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, All Shook Up,follows the story of Natalie, a tomboy mechanic with a longing heart, and Chad, a mysterious, hip-swiveling roustabout who is new to town and ready to shake things up.
