SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE-The Songs of Leiber and Stoller
A MUSICAL CELEBRATION OF ROCK AND ROLL

The longest-running musical review in the history of Broadway, Smokey Joe's Café, is coming to The Gloria Logan Auditorium for Performing Arts (Salem High School) in March! The musical features songs of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who wrote for rock ‘n’ roll pop stars in the 1950s and 60s. Performers including Elvis, Peggy Lee, The Drifters, and The Coasters are just a few of the dozens of musicians to have number one hits thanks to Leiber & Stoller. SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE celebrates the world of first kisses and last dances, hot summer nights and cool midnight struts, blue-light diners and red hot rock and roll!
Smokey Joe's Café opened to standing ovations on Broadway in 1995, where it was nominated for seven Tony awards. Leiber and Stoller, two Jewish teenagers, shared a loved for blues in 1950. Together, they transformed pop music into rock 'n' roll. They wrote a number of ground-breaking hits: Hound Dog, Yakety Yak, Poison Ivy, Charlie Brown, On Broadway, Kansas City, Jailhouse Rock, Love Potion No. 9, and Stand By Me--an unprecedented string of Top 40 songs that defined the '50s and early '60s. This musical powerhouse will have audiences dancing in the aisles!
Park Players brings this highly energetic musical phenomenon to the stage on March 12-14 & 20-21, 2009. All shows are at 8pm. All tickets just $12. Seating is reserved. Group rates are available for groups of 15 or more.

On performance nights, tickets go on sale outside the Salem High School Auditorium beginning at 7pm. See the TICKET page for more information.
