You can read all about it in this story in Thursday's Herald-Dispatch, written by my pal Dave Lavender.
You can also see some photos from the show in this photo gallery.
Here's an excerpt from Dave's story: One football-throwing Chad has already ridden into Huntington and stolen the hearts of many Tri-Staters with his good looks and athletic prowess.
Huntington Outdoor Theatre is banking on another hot, young Chad -- this one a black-leather-jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding, hip-shaking, guitar-playing bad boy -- to turn up the musical heat and win over just as many tender hearts in the Tri-State.
Chad, a James Dean-meets-Elvis kind of character, is just one of the stars ready to hit the stage Friday night as part of H.O.T.'s production of the new musical, All Shook Up, juiced with a jukebox full of Elvis Presley hits.
Now in its 16th season, H.O.T. is rocking the Ritter Park Amphitheater with the infectious sounds of a dozen Elvis hits during the musical, All Shook Up, which runs nightly Friday through Sunday as well as July 17-19, and July 24-26, at the amphitheater.
The show starts at 8:30 p.m. The pre-show starts at 7 p.m. with the children's pre-show called, Twistin' in the '50s, followed by the community pre-show.
Gates open at 6:30 p.m. for picnics, although full concessions are available.
Get your tickets early at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena Box Office and Borders Books and Music in the Huntington Mall.
Tickets are $16 and $14 for 65 and older and children 5 to 12. Children 5 and under are free. Groups of 20 or more are $14 if they are purchased at the same time. All tickets include a $1 surcharge for the Greater Huntington Parks and Recreation District.
Set in the Midwest during a 24-hour period in the summer of 1955, the story follows Chad, played by Philip Cron, a character fresh out of jail who rides into a sleepy town whose prudish mayor Matilda played by Courtney Dugan has (like in Footloose) outlawed loud music, dancing and indecent behavior.

This promises to be a great show. We watched most of the dress rehearsal last night and everyone is on mark and lookin' good.
This is yet another H.O.T. show that will be a blessing to our community.
