Opened 19 April 2004, closed 23 April 2005 at the Piccadilly Theatre in London.

Featuring a rich catalogue of 1950's rock'n'roll classics, Jailhouse Rock The Musical tells the story of Vince Everett, a young man from the wrong side of the tracks who discovers his own unique musical talent whilst doing time in jail and emerges to become the world's greatest rock n' roll star, only to discover that he isn't ready for the pressures that money and fame can bring.

Jailhouse Rock The Musical is a new stage musical version of the classic 1957 Elvis film Jailhouse Rock. The show also charts the development of rock'n'roll from its roots in blues and country music and will feature a mix of musical styles alongside a host of popular rock'n'roll hits which will appeal to all theatregoers, with plenty of classic hits to satisfy Elvis fans!
