All Shook Up

‘All Shook Up’ is a light-hearted, and energetic, musical production about life, love and ‘rock & roll’.  This American jukebox musical includes many iconic Elvis Presley songs together with an actual storyline that is based on William Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’.

Jamie Miller-Hughes brought both her acting experience, and first-hand knowledge of ‘All Shook Up’, to the roles of Director/Producer. Assisted by Kathryn Felton and Russell Hughes, this trio gathered a quality cast which was then carefully instructed and well-rehearsed.  Attention to detail was obviously stressed as the ‘end product’ was both precise and polished.  The entire show ran smoothly with no delays or distractions and the ‘full house’ witnessed a superb show.  This can only be achieved with significant amounts of work from the production team.

With an exceptionally strong cast there was depth and quality throughout the principal 'lineup'. Individually, each actor dererves credit and recognition for the extensive time and effort invested and must be congratulated. All acting, singing and dancing was of the highest standard and what I've come to expect from Cygnet Players.

The ensemble’s time, effort and commitment must not to be overlooked here and Cygnet Players is fortunate to have such a depth of talent to draw upon.  Ensemble ssinging was of a high order with good entries and well balanced voices. Movement and characterisation could not be faulted and those onstage looked as if you were thoroughly enjoying themselves.  In particular, the energy and dance performances in ‘Jailhouse Rock’, ‘Devil in Disguise’, 'All Shook Up' and ‘Burning Love’ were fabulous.
