Show synopsis:

Two Gentlemen Rock Verona follows the misadventures of two best friends, Valentine and Proteus set in the rockin’ and rollin’ 1950s. Valentine is about to leave his small town for a life in the big city, while Proteus chooses to stay behind to woo the lovely Julia. Proteus’ father has other plans for him, however, and instructs him to follow Valentine to pursue his education. When Proteus arrives, he gets one look at the Duke’s daughter, Sylvia, and immediately forgets Julia back home. The problem is that Sylvia is his best friend’s girl; and Julia won’t be dumped that easily! Mix in some bandits, an incensed father, and a disguise (of course) and it’s friend versus friend in a madcap tale of romantic rivals – all set to a soundtrack of hits from the wild and wacky 1950s.
