Red Rock Diner – A Performance

Description

Stage West Theatre’s 2017/2018 season closes out with the musical Red Rock Diner. Classic ’50s hits like “Crying,” and “Jailhouse Rock,” soundtrack this infectiously fun musical about coming of age during the 1950s’ burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene. Taking place at the Stage West Theatre Restaurant, audience members can treat themselves to a meal and a show.

“Toe-tapping beats, a nostalgic song list…an enjoyable summer performance.” 
– Monica Miller, The Vancouver Observer

“…the energy is so contagious…well-choreographed fun.” 
– Samantha Thompson, The Runner

 “Inspiring entertainment…a palpable energy that has the crowd moving.” 
– katherinerene.com

Five teens come of age while DJ Red Robinson plays the biggest hits of the 1950s. From the raucous “Great Balls of Fire” and “Jailhouse Rock” to ballads like “Cry”, this infectious musical captures the excitement and innocence of the city’s burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene.

Inspired by Red Robinson’s early days in radio, playwright Dean Regan created Red Rock Diner to showcase Robinson’s legendary broadcasting career and influential voice that he used to spin the records that shaped the rock ‘n’ roll landscape of the 1950s. Filled with energy, phenomenal talent, and great music, Red Rock Diner will leave you singing and dancing along to all of the songs you grew up with and have come to love!
