Viva Elvis is a tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley. Created in the image of The King of Rock 'n' Roll – powerful, sexy, whimsical, truly unique and larger than life – the show highlights an American icon who transformed popular music and whose image embodies the freedom, excitement and turbulence of his era.
Thirty of Elvis' songs are used in the production, with remixes designed to accentuate and boost the emotional charge of his performances. Elvis' voice is the only male singing voice in Viva Elvis, joined occasionally by live female singers and an energetic live band. The show opens to the public on February 21.
