Nine extremely powerful performers sing the glory of the fifties in this wonderful musical revue. If there is one thing that can describe that era, it is certainly the music. Two men were behind it all. Smokey Joe's Cafe is in honor of them, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

"... The joint is jumpin’ and the hits are happenin’ as Toby’s Dinner Theatre of Baltimore presents Smokey Joe’s Café - an upbeat musical revue-style show that features the classic hits of Leiber and Stoller. The names may not sound familiar but all the tunes will –featuring well loved numbers like “Love Potion No. 9,” “You’re the Boss,” and “Fools Fall in Love,” this kick-back to the 1950’s will have you tapping your toes and singing along as the ten talented performers sing and dance their way through the show."

"...Under the direction of Kevin McAllister and musical director Cedric Lyles, the strengths of the cast members were well utilized to maximize the performances. Each one had something to offer and their talents were well integrated to create a beautiful tapestry of song and dance."

"... In short, it’s all about the songs and the dance. If those things, standing unpretentiously by themselves, float your boat, then you’ll have a wonderful time. If you feel you need more (for example some insight into the state of popular culture in a bygone era when a small group of mostly Jewish composers and writers were writing most of the big crossover hits for black singers and bands – and that’s only one instance of all the possible areas the show doesn’t get into) then you won’t."
