The Songs of Leiber and Stoller

It SHOOK it RATTLED and it ROLLED across North America. Phoenix Entertainment's sizzling production of SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE was the critic's pick of the 2004-05 National Touring season! The greatest hits of the 50's and 60's were served up nightly at SMOKEY JOE'S CAFÉ, a rockin' Broadway musical party that had audiences coast to coast dancing in the aisles. On the menu: Jailhouse Rock, Stand By Me, On Broadway, Hound Dog, Fools Fall In Love, and dozens more -- all the timeless creations of songwriting legends Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It doesn't get much better than SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE -- a raucous good time celebration of the Grammy Award winning hits that were front and center in shaping an era of musical history. Baby, This Is Rock'n'Roll!
