The show was extremely successful which in London in many ran for 13 years and met with equal success in other parts of the world. The collaboration of Janes and Bettinson spelled same magic for Jailhouse Rock - The Musical. The others who contributed in making it were Musical Supervisor David Mackay , Designer Adrian Rees and choreographer Drew Anthony. Talking about the musical Bettinson said "Although based on the film, the musical will tell a much bigger story. Using hit songs from the era, the stage production will also chart the birth of rock 'n' roll - pinpointing its roots in the black music of the time and showing how singers like Presley and those who were writing for artists like him carried those influences over into the American teenage mainstream. This extra element will create a brand new piece for the stage, not relying on the audience having seen the film or being an Elvis Presley fan, though Elvis fans will love it too!"
