Chad, played by KJ Hippensteel, is the hip-swinging guitar-playing roustabout in the "All Shook Up" musical at the Forestburgh Playhouse. Hip-Swiveling Guitar Playing Roustabout
The little barn at the Forestburgh Playhouse was rock-in and a roll-in last week with the music of the classic rock star Elvis Presley in the musical "All Shook Up."
Playhouse producer Norman Duttweiler continues to bring the best in entertainment to what has become the oldest professional summer theater in New York State and "All Shook Up" had the audience tapping their feet along with many who were swaying in their seats to the classic rock star music of Elvis Presley.
Although we are long time Elvis Presley fans we were thrilled to hear his songs sung by the very talented Forestburgh Playhouse cast.
The setting for this presentation was a small "you never heard of it town" in the Midwest.
Natalie Haller (Ed), played by Georgia Tapp, is a young mechanic, dreaming of love and adventure. She yearns for one true love to take her away, but she doesn't realize that her best friend, Dennis, played by Jim Bray, has a secret crush on her.
While the town folks are sitting in the local honky tonk they are interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle as Chad (the hip-swiveling guitar-playing roustabout, played by KJ Hippensteel, rides into town and asks about any excitement in town but is told that excitement is outlawed under the Mayor's strict rules.
Chad is also in need of a mechanic and is introduced to Natalie who is instantly smitten.
The theme of this play produces many different potential love hookups but in the last scene Chad accepts Natalie and a triple wedding takes place between Jim and Sylvia, Matilda and Earl and Dennis and Sandra.
Outstanding acting, dancing and singing by this entire staff. We give the show five stars.
Next up is the Musical Sensation Les Miserables from July 7-19 with Showboat taking the stage July 21-August 2.
Tickets and information are available at 794-1194
