Nearly 40 of the greatest hits of the 1950s and 1960s are on the menu in Smokey Joe’s Café, coming to the IU Auditorium in Bloomington March 29-30. “Jailhouse Rock,” “Stand by Me,” “Yakety Yak,” “Hound Dog” and more are the electrifying creations of songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the Rodgers and Hammerstein of rock ’n’ roll. This is the show that broke records on Broadway, and has audiences and critics singing and dancing. In an idealized 1950s setting, the classic themes of love won, lost and imagined blend with hilarious set-pieces and slice-of-life emotions. Smokey Joe’s Café isn’t just great pop music—it’s compelling musical theater.
