Smokey Joe's Cafe
by Central Texas Theatre (formerly Vive les Arts)

Jan. 04 - Jan. 05 (2016)

Lieber 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 the idealized '50s 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 Cafe isn't just great pop music, it's compelling musical theatre.
