Leiber 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 an idealized setting, the classic themes of love...won, lost and imagined, blend with hilarious numbers 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.
