Jupiter, FL - (January 8, 2008) -  Hold on to your dancin' shoes as Smokey Joe's Cafe rocks its way into the Maltz Jupiter Theatre January 22 through February 10. Smokey Joe's Cafe is non-stop fun, excitement and the best rock and roll ever recorded from the 50's and 60's featuring the hit songs of Leiber and Stoller. Most will remember these classic songs as recorded by Elvis Presley, The Coasters and the Drifters among others.

Smokey Joe's Café, opened on Broadway in 1995 where it ran for five years to become the longest-running musical revue in the history of Broadway.

It played to international audiences in all over the world.

Directed by Bill Castellino and masterfully choreographed by Joshua Bergasse, the production at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre will be nothing short of spectacular and will have audience members dancing in the aisles with such Leiber and Stoller hits as "Hound Dog," Love Potion No.#9," "Jailhouse Rock" and "Yakety Yak."
