Jailhouse Rock The Musical , based on Elvis Presley's classic 1957 film, opened at the Piccadilly Theatre on 19 Apr 04, following previews from 26th Mar 04, and is currently taking bookings to 2 April 2005.

Produced by Theatre Partners, Jailhouse Company and Volcanic Island, Jailhouse Rock The Musical , is directed by Rob Bettinson, designed by Adrian Rees, and choreograped by Drew Anthony.
