All Shook Up April 2021

All Shook Up (Young At Part) is a musical inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley, with the book by Joe Dipiertro.  Based very loosely on Twelfth Night, this show was ready to be performed on 21st April 2021 at Central Studio, Basingstoke but, with just four weeks to opening night, all theatres and live performances were closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  However, through online rehearsals originally, then finally in small groups and recordings, our wonderful musical director, Tori Eglin, managed to produce a recording for the cast to keep as a memory of all their hard work when it became very evident that this show was not able to be performed. Key cast members were also leaving college to go on to adult life.  Perhaps one day it will be reprieved with a new cast.
