Your ticket: Tickets are now on sale for Central Catholic’s “All Shook Up” | Grand Island Local News

Elvis’ music comes to life in “All Shook Up”, a Shakespeare-inspired musical presented by Grand Island Central Catholic.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 27 at the school, 1200 N. Ruby.

“All Shook Up” is a rocking, heartwarming tale about chasing dreams, opening up to love, and the power of music. Inspired by Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”, it follows a small town in the Midwest that is thrown into a frenzy with the arrival of Chad, a handsome backpacker on a motorcycle, who rides from town to town with a guitar on his back, blue suede shoes on her feet and a song in her heart.

Repressed by its conservative mayor, the city begins to come alive under Chadian influence. Lovers meet, woo, chase and more, all in one wacky night that will change the city forever. Hit songs include ‘Jailhouse Rock’, ‘Love Me Tender’, ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ and ‘All Shook Up’.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for K-12 students, and are available at Ace Hardware, the Central Catholic School office, and at the door.
