Ensemble Characters

Synopsis

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 '50's 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's compelling musical
theatre.
