Video: The Stars of ALL SHOOK UP at Goodspeed Musicals Perform 'Can't Help Falling in Love'

Goodspeed Musicals will present All Shook Up as its second production of the 2025 season. The hit songs of Elvis Presley fuel the romantic tale of a small town turned upside down by a stranger on a motorcycle, All Shook Up will run from June 27 – Aug. 17 at The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Conn. Watch a new video of the show's stars in rehearsal as they perform the classic ballad, "Can't Help Falling in Love."

All Shook Up is inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley with a book by Joe DiPietro (The Goodspeed: Damn Yankees, Babes in Arms, They All Laughed; The Terris: All Shook Up, O. Henry’s Lovers; Broadway: Diana: The Musical, Living on Love, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Memphis).

The legendary songs of Elvis Presley ignite a rockin’ romp set in the Fabulous ’50s. When a guitar-playing stranger on a motorcycle roars into a sleepy town, nothing will be the same.

Celebrate the 20th anniversary production of a show that began at Goodspeed with non-stop classics, from "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hound Dog," to "Love Me Tender" and “Don’t Be Cruel."
