SONY BMG Strategic Marketing Group will release the Original Broadway Cast Recording of All Shook Up, the new hip-swiveling Broadway musical comedy on May 31, 2005. The soundtrack will feature renditions of 25 Elvis Presley songs, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Burning Love," "Love Me Tender," "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Jailhouse Rock," "Blue Suede Shoes," "A Little Less Conversation," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel," and of course, "All Shook Up."

All Shook Up, the new musical comedy based on the songs of Elvis Presley, is not a biographical revue. Set in 1955, All Shook Up tells the story of a small town girl who dreams of hitting the open road, and the guitar-playing stranger who brings romance, rebellion and rock 'n' roll into her life.

"Elvis is the best selling solo artist in U.S. history," said Joe DiMuro, Executive Vice President/General Manager of SONY BMG Strategic Marketing Group. "His song catalog translates beautifully to Broadway, revealing Elvis's many musical influences. SONY BMG is proud to release the All Shook Up Original Broadway Cast Recording to introduce Elvis's music to a new audience and allow existing fans to rediscover its power all over again."

Directed by Christopher Ashley, with a book by Joe DiPietro, music direction and orchestrations by Stephen Oremus, All Shook Up is choreographed by Ken Roberson with additional choreography by Sergio Trujillo. All Shook Up is produced by Jonathan Pollard, Bernie Kukoff, Clear Channel Entertainment, Harbor Entertainment, Miramax Films, Bob & Harvey Weinstein, Stanley Buchthal, Eric Falkenstein, Nina Essman/Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Jean Cheever and Margaret Cotter in association with Barney Rosenzweig, Meri Krassner, FGRW Investments, Karen Jason, and Phil Ciasullo Conard.

All Shook Up stars Cheyenne Jackson, Jenn Gambatese, Jonathan Hadary, Leah Hocking, Curtis Holbrook, Nikki M. James, John Jellison, Alix Korey, Mark Price and Sharon Wilkins in a cast of 30 that features Brad Anderson, Justin Bohon, Justin Brill, Paul Castree, Cara Cooper, Michael Cusumano, Randy A. Davis, Jennie Ford, Francesca Harper, Trisha Jeffrey, Michelle Kittrell, Anika Larsen, Michael X. Martin, Karen Murphy, John Eric Parker, Justin Patterson, Jenelle Lynn Randall, Michael James Scott, Jenny-Lynn Suckling and Virginia Woodruff.

The Original Broadway Cast Recording was produced by eight-time Grammy Award winning producer Jay David Saks and executive produced by Bill Rosenfield. Jay David Saks has won eight Grammy Awards for producing recordings, and two Emmy Awards for directing audio for television. Five of his Grammys are for Best Musical Show Album: the Broadway recordings of Gypsy (2003), Chicago (1998), Guys and Dolls (1992), Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989), and Into the Woods (1988). His other three Grammy awards are for classical music recordings. Saks has personally received 44 Grammy nominations: 17 for Musical Show Cast recordings.
