“Smokey Joe’s Café: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller”

June 5, 2017 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Smokey Joe’s Café: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller
Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller (Music & Words)
Broadway by the Bay
The Cast of Smokey Joe’s Cafe
No reviewer’s words can do justice to an evening of electric entertainment like Broadway by the Bay’s Smokey Joe’s Café.  This show grabs hold of its audience in the opening notes, shakes them up in number-after-number’s eye-popping choreography, and then leaves them in the end with big grins and ear-worms that probably will not go away for days.   
Please see my full, rave review at Talkin’ Broadway: http://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj87.html.
Rating: 5 E
