As part of a large high school choir (a choir that has won 1st place in many competitions and sung at Ground Zero and a Washington Wizards game) singing is important to me. Obviously, to get on Broadway you have to have some kind of talent, but the talent displayed in "All Shook Up" is absolutely superb. There is not a bad note or line in the whole thing. You would think that all the ASU performers had been doing this kind of thing their whole lives. It's amazing how they've just burst onto the sceen and made everyone fall in love with them! They're each unique and totally incredible. From the grease monkey Jenn to the hip swiveling Cheyenne to the nerdy Mark they're all excellent. Each one plays their part beautifully, and the whole show is just awesome. The soundtrack is just as good...it's exactly like watching it on stage! It'll bring back great memories and laughs and is a must for any Elvis fan! I saw “All Shook Up” this past August and immediately fell in love with it.

Because critics don't like shows that are based off unoriginal music, they missed the point of All Shook Up. It was a fantastic tribute to one of the greatest singers of all time. <br/><br/>The cast of the show puts every ounce of energy behind the songs and fills them with such zest and pep that it is impossible not to see the charm. Some of the best numbers come when the cast all join in together in such ensemble efforts like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Can't Help Falling in Love" to produce rousing chorus numbers. The voice talent matches expectations for the songs, as Cheyenne Jackson nails a good mix of Elvis with roustabout charisma in his spotlight songs like "Roustabout" and "C'Mon Everybody." <br/><br/>What the show does a fantastic job of is mixing up the songs, how they are song, and the different voice talent put into each piece. There is a wonderful cross of "Teddy Bear" and "Hound Dog" (words are changed around to make it work), that is fun back and forth song. <br/><br/>The same can be said for "Don't Be Cruel", which is one of the best adaptations of Elvis' songs. It mixes cool, slick, and humor to give another quick duet, back and forth piece to the show. <br/><br/>In short, there are so many fun songs on this CD that you won't be able to stop listening to it for weeks. There is so much charm and energy in each song that you'll feel a little remorse for not seeing it on Broadway (yes, it's run is over), or for not going to go see it again. <br/><br/>So...C'mon everybody and clap your hands right now...
