ELVIS - The Musical
What's it about?
His gaze, his voice, his legendary hip swing: Elvis Presley is considered the greatest solo artist of all time with one billion records sold. In 2027, it will be 70 years since the recording and release of his worldwide hit "Jailhouse Rock" and the cult film of the same name starring Elvis Presley. On this occasion, "ELVIS - The Musical," the world's most successful musical biography of the "King," will go on a major tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland again. Together with Elvis impersonator Grahame Patrick and Elvis’s longtime companion Ed Enoch, the successful production brings the greatest hits and the moving life story of the rock’n’roll legend back to life. Elvis Aaron Presley, born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, became the most important representative of 20th-century rock and pop culture during his incomparable career. The year 1956 is considered the birth of the "King of Rock’n’Roll," with Presley's first hit single "Heartbreak Hotel" and his debut album "Elvis Presley." His last concert was in June 1977, shortly before he died on August 16 from a sudden heart failure at his estate Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. Yet, legends and myths still surround his death, making Presley unforgettable to this day. For his fans, he still lives — at least in their hearts. An impressive homage to the "King of Rock’n’Roll" Emotional, powerful, and captivating: In "ELVIS - The Musical," audiences can experience the idol of an entire generation up close at various stages of his life. From his first studio recording as a gift for his mother, through his beginnings with Sam Phillips at the regional label Sun Records and the first released single "That’s All Right" in 1954, to the switch to the national RCA label and the international breakthrough in 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel," the debut album "Elvis Presley," and his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker, up to the concert of the superlative "Aloha from Hawaii" in 1973 at the Honolulu International Center Arena, which was broadcast via satellite to over 40 countries and achieved a higher viewership in the USA than the first moon landing a few years earlier. The two-and-a-half-hour live spectacle has already thrilled over a million viewers, bringing the magic of the rock’n’roll icon back to the stage and presenting Elvis Presley’s entire musical repertoire live — from gospel and blues to uninhibited rock’n’roll — and vividly recounting his life. The "best Elvis impersonator since Elvis" and the seven-piece "Las Vegas Showband" Grahame Patrick is considered the "world’s best Elvis impersonator since Elvis" in the tribute to the "King." When he steps into the spotlight in the world-famous white jumpsuit and other authentic costumes, one might think Elvis Presley is actually on stage. Grahame Patrick also impresses with an astonishing vocal closeness to the original, which he repeatedly demonstrates throughout the show. He is accompanied by top singers, actors, showgirls, and the seven-piece "Las Vegas Showband," creating an unforgettable musical experience — and of course, all hits are performed live: from "Love Me Tender" and "Jailhouse Rock" to "Suspicious Minds," as well as gospel songs like "Why me, Lord?" and "How Great Thou Art," the live version of which was awarded a Grammy in Memphis in 1974. Elaborate choreography, scenes, and original film sequences guide through Elvis’s life and beautifully round off the show. Companions and witnesses make the show unique. The uniqueness of "ELVIS - The Musical" is also enhanced by the inclusion of real eyewitnesses.
