Leiber and Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock ‘n roll, and now their songs provide the basis for an electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of popular culture. In a 50’s setting, the classic themes of love won, lost and imagined, blend with hilarious set pieces and slice-of-life emotions. Featuring nearly 40 of the greatest songs ever recorded, Smokey Joe’s Café is more than great pop music. It is great musical theatre! (120 minutes. Rated PG)
