Smokey Joe’s Cafe: The Songs of Leiber & Stoller

Part of 3rd Annual DFW Fringe Festival

Description

Leiber and Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock 'n' roll and now their songs provide the basis for an electrifying evening of 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 Café is not a musical play with a plot. It is, however, an uplifting musical experience brought to life by an extraordinary ensemble cast of singers who embrace the stage with well executed dance movements and power song delivery.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 877-238-5596.
