The Picture Show at Bay Street presents BLUE HAWAII, considered one of the better Elvis films. It was directed by Norman Taurog and written by Allan Weiss and Hal Kanter. In addition to a young Elvis, Angela Lansbury plays his mother in the film. The film had a big budget for the time and included a great soundtrack with songs such as "Blue Hawaii," "Can't Help Falling In Love," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and more. "Rock A Hula" is a favorite of many as a truly Elvis dance number.

Bay Street Theatre is a not-for-profit regional theater presenting new, classic and contemporary works, with a commitment to challenging and entertaining our diverse community. This commitment extends to innovative educational programs that highlight the power of live theater. It is our mission to be an artistic haven for an extended family of artists and audience, while continuing to provide a gathering place to share in the unique collective theatrical experience.
