Middlesex County's Plays in the Park presents "All Shook Up"

originally published: 05/05/2026

(EDISON, NJ) -- Middlesex County's Plays in the Park kicks off its season with All Shook Up from June 17-27, 2026. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it's 1955, and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets.

Featuring mega hits from the beloved Elvis catalog, this musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”

All Shook Up is more than just a musical—it’s a vibrant, joyous celebration of the power of love, the power of music, and the power of community.

Performances take place at 8:00pm each night in the outdoor amphitheater. It is located one block south of the Menlo Park Mall off of Route 1, in Edison, New Jersey. The turn off is called Grandview Avenue. At the top of the short hill, make your first right on to Pine Drive and the Park Rangers will guide you to a parking spot.

Tickets are sold at the box office on-site on the day of the performance only. There are no advance sales.  For information on tickets, seating, and the rain check policy click here.
