One Night With You

The stars of the new Broadway musical All Shook Up celebrated their opening at Copacabana, and TM's cameras were there.

By Joseph Marzullo • Dec 31, 1969 • New York City







All Shook Up, the new musical featuring songs made famous by Elvis Presley, opened last night at Broadway's Palace Theatre, and the show's after party was held at Copacabana. Here are a few shots of the show's cast, starting with Jenn Gambatese and Cheyenne Jackson, who star as mechanic Natalie Heller and roustabout Chad. (To read David Finkle's review of the show, click here.)

















And here's Leah Hocking, who plays museum curator Miss Sandra, with whom Chad falls hopelessly in love.





















Here's Alix Korey, who plays the town's discriminating (and fun-squelching) Mayor, Matilda Hyde...




















...Curtis Holbrook, who plays her son, Dean...





















...Nikki M. James, who plays Lorraine, the girl he falls head over heels for...



















...and Sharon Wilkins, who play's Lorraine's mother, Sylvia.


















Among the celebrities who attended the opening were performer Phyllis Newman and her daughter, singer-songwriter Amanda Green...















...fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger...



















...actress Tina Louise, who's best known for playing Ginger on the classic 1960s TV comedy, Gilligan's Island. (But she has Broadway credits, too, including the original productions of Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter and Li'l Abner.)



















Also present were singer and actor Isaac Hayes...





















...playwright and actress Claudia Shear...






















...film director John Waters...




















...Sharon Gless, star of TV's Queer as Folk and Cagney & Lacey...





















...and high-profile American Idol drop-out, Mario Vazquez.



















We leave you with a little bit of Elvis history, past and present. Pictured here is Jackson, dressed as Chad, with Priscilla Presley, former wife of the King himself! They posed for photos outside the Palace before Wednesday evening's performance of the show.
