14 of these 29 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 15 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

These came out of a wiki table. The names arrived with the table's own cell markup on them and have been stripped back. They are not linked to person records because the identifiers in that table do not resolve to ours.

Around this production

All Shook Up is an American jukebox musical with music from the Elvis Presley songbook and with a book by Joe DiPietro. The show concerns the repressed residents of an unnamed American town in the Midwest during the summer of 1955 who experience an awakening when a leather-clad guitar-strumming roustabout rolls into town. The story takes inspiration from the comedies of William Shakespeare, particularly Twelfth Night, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Much Ado About Nothing. It explores themes such as authoritarianism, segregation, and homosexuality. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2005.
