All Shook Up – Young@Part® Edition – is the authorized edition of the Broadway musical for youth theaters. Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley, this new version of the show is perfect for middle & high school kids to perform! It’s 1955, and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Teddy Bear,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog,” and “Jailhouse Rock.” With great roles for girls and boys and an irresistible rock ‘n’ roll pedigree, this 70-minute Broadway adaptation is an unforgettable thrill for young performers and their audiences.

AUDITIONS – Wednesday, March 13 – 5-8pm and will continue on Sunday, March 17th, 4-7pm. All registered students should attend both dates for the entire time. Location: St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 232 Wyoming Ave. Scranton, PA.

The CaPAA team provides a safe and encouraging environment during the audition process. We will take time to review some of the songs, discuss the characters and take the time needed to explain the audition process. It’s OK if your child hasn’t performed in a show before or if this is their 20th one- just encourage them to do their best- this is NOT “Broadway-bootcamp!” Please wear comfortable clothes, sneakers or jazz shoes (no Crocs or open toed shoes) and bring a water bottle / snack. Cell phones are collected at the beginning of each rehearsal. If you need to reach your child, please text Sheri at 484-802-2575.
