After months of rehearsals, the musical cast is set to bring “All Shook Up” to the stage starting tomorrow at 7 p.m.

The show, directed by Pat Ribar, is rooted in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” and follows a tangled story of love and mistaken identity. Ribar compared the storyline to the 2006 film “She’s the Man” to describe the plot.

“The story is a tangled web of passion and love, that in a strange way all works out in the end,” he said.

“All Shook Up” is a jukebox musical, meaning that it uses only existing songs to tell a new story. In the case of this jukebox musical, over 20 songs were written by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, which ties into the 1950s setting throughout the show.

With opening night approaching, cast members say preparation has been their top priority.

“I’m making sure all my lines and songs are locked in and that I’m prepared to the best of my ability,” senior lead Claire Hayworth said.

In the final weeks before opening night, each cast member has been working on the show for 12-14 hours a week. The long hours are put into finalizing the show and working through the logistics for the first performance.

“We just started using mics last Thursday, and we ran the show with costumes on Monday and Tuesday,” senior lead Broolyn Porter said. “I’m staying calm while we work out all the kinks in the show.”

Despite the preparation, the pressure of performing is not lost on the cast.

“You want to prove you deserved the role and play it the best you can, while also making it your own so it’s fun to watch,” Hayworth said. “You just have to take a deep breath and do your best.”

When it comes to opening night, the cast and directors simply want the audience to have a great time.

“I just hope they can tell how passionate we are, and I want them to think this was a very fun and impressive show,” Porter said.

Ribar, who has directed musicals in the school district for 21 years, said the stakes feel especially high heading into what will be his final production.

“The Gretna casts over the last 21 years of my time here have always worked diligently and put on superior shows,” he said. “I just hope that it is a great time for the kids and the audience.”
