Smokey Joe's Cafe: Songs of Leiber & Stoller description You know that rock & roll has staying power when it can survive even the homogenization that comes from being performed on Broadway. So it is with this live performance of a Broadway revue that celebrated the music of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, one of the finest songwriting teams ever to have hits with Elvis Presley, Ben E. King, the Drifters, the Coasters, and everyone else who mattered in the early days of rock. Everything from "Hound Dog" to "Charlie Brown," from "I'm a Woman" to "On Broadway" is included in this video recording of the Broadway hit. But despite energetic performances by a cast of five men and four women, there's little of the raw and plenty of the preprocessed in a show that wouldn't be out of place in a Las Vegas showroom. They're still great songs--and even these slick performances can't diminish that. --Marshall Fine |

| a small musical revue, with wonderful score. The singing and dancing actors are simply perfect. And what to add about this dvd? pictures are so well taken and sound, too that it would be a shame not to have this dvd on one's collection. | |
