Leiber and Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock ‘n’ roll, and now their songs provide the basis for electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of American culture.

In an idealized ’50’s setting, the classic themes of love  – won, lost and imagined, blend with hilarious set-pieces and ‘slice-of-life’ emotions. Smokey Joe’s Cafe isn’t just great pop music – it’s compelling musical theatre. The longest running musical revue in Broadway history, Smokey Joe’s Cafe is a song and dance revue showcasing 39 pop standards, including Love Potion #9, On Broadway, I’m A Woman, Yakety Yak, and more rock and roll, rhythm and blues songs written by songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. A fantastic ‘party’ to end The Hills Musical Company’s year featuring Adelaide’s best talent with a 7 piece band on stage. The show will be rehearsed for a much shorter and intense period (4 weeks) and will play for two weeks in November. This will be an SA Premiere.
