Smokey Joe's Cafe is a musical revue of the glory of
the fifties in America one song after another. If there is one
thing that can describe that era, it is certainly the
music. Two men were behind it all. Smokey Joe's Cafe is in
honor of them, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Songs written by
the duo are strung cleverly together one following another,
featuring wonderful choreography and wonderful comedy.
The songs include Neighborhood; Young Blood; Falling; Ruby
Baby; Dance With Me; Keep On Rollin'; Searchin'; Kansas City;
Trouble; Love Me; Don't; Fools Fall In Love;Poison Ivy; Don
Juan; Shoppin' For Clothes; I Keep Forgettin'; On Broadway;
D.W. Washburn; Saved, Baby; That Is Rock & Roll; Yakety Yak;
Charlie Brown; Stay A While; Pearl's A Singer; Teach Me How To
Shimmy; You're The Boss; Smokey Joe's Cafe; Loving You; Treat
Me Nice; Hound Dog; Little Egypt; I'm A Woman; There Goes My
Baby; Love Potion #9; Some Cats Know; Jailhouse Rock; Spanish
Harlem; I (Who Have Nothing); Stand By Me.
The orginal Broadway production opened in 1995 and ran for 2036 performances.
