"SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE" is a musical theatrical revue showcasing the wonderful songs of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller - the show opened on Broadway on 2 March 1995 and closed on 16 January 2000, after 2036 performances. The Original Broadway Cast soundtrack recording won a Grammy award in 1996 (Best Musical Show Album) and the musical itself was nominated for no fewer than seven Tony awards.
Tempo has assembled a talented and versatile cast of performers who will sing and dance their way through a non-stop catalogue of some of the best songs ever written and recorded, such as "Poison Ivy", "Fools Fall In Love", "Hound Dog", "On Broadway", "Love Potion No. 9", "Jailhouse Rock", "I'm A Woman" and "Stand By Me".
"........a vibrant and nostalgic musical revue ........... this is top-notch entertainment."
"........"Smokey Joe's Cafe" isn't just great pop music, it's compelling musical theatre."
"........ a blessedly plotless revue consisting entirely of heartfelt singing and stylish dance numbers set to the great hits of Leiber and Stoller."
