"A tribute to one of popular music's most [prolific] songwriting teams, whose works have been immortalized by talents as varied as Elvis Presley, Big Mama Thornton, the Coasters and Peggy Lee." - New York Times

Pop-rock writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller began their careers writing for Elvis Presley, the Drifters and the Coasters in the early 1950s, and continued well into the ‘60s as they wrote for Aretha Franklin, Ruth Brown, Peggy Lee, Lavern Baker, Steve Lawrence and Perry Como, just to name a few.

Smokey Joe's Café showcases the talents of this dynamic songwriting duo, including smash hits like "Stand By Me," "Poison Ivy," "Fools Fall In Love," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Love Potion #9" and "On Broadway." Don't miss the most popular and longest-running musical revue in Broadway history this summer at The Rep.
