Jailhouse Rock to hit West End

Jailhouse Rock, based on the 1957 Elvis Presley film, is due to hit London’s West End in the spring as the latest in a long line of stage musicals based on successful films.

Alan Janes, co-author and lead producer of the venture, tells Daily Variety that the production will open in February in Plymouth and after a five-week tour of England will arrive in London where “three sets of theatre owners” are vying for the show, according to Janes.
