Leiber and Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock 'n' roll and now their songs provide the basis for an electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of American culture.

In an idealized 50s setting, the classic themes of love won, lost and imagined, blend with hilarious set-pieces and slice-of-life emotions. Featuring nearly 40 of the greatest songs ever recorded, Smokey Joe's Cafe isn't just great pop music, it is compelling musical theatre.

From “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock” all the way to “Spanish Harlem” and “Kansas City” the greatest tunes of the 50s and 60s come alive in a high-energy performance that celebrates cool songs and red-hot rock and roll!
