Audiences will be able to see never-before-seen exhibits of life-size images of Elvis’s stage-wear that will be on display for viewing in the lobbies of each theatre.

Our thriving production showcases each performer portraying Elvis in one of four eras: the 1950s, 1960s, his movie career and his concert years, so it is the complete musical package.”
