afield as Australia where his 2008 tour won him

A brand new double-bill featuring two new comedies of back-stage life by
Lichfield writer Phil Preece, author of cult ‘House of Pain’.
Mr Blue Sky - they say if you can remember the 60’s you weren’t there...
well ageing rocker Vince Megre was, and it’s true, he can’t... or the seventies.
Actually the 80’s are a bit of a blur and as for the 90’s! He’s still doing the rounds
playing the old hits after nearly 40 years, but after a young fan comes backstage
to see him after a show he finds she’s looking for more than just an autograph
and Vince begins to discover feelings that his rock and roll lifestyle has left no
time for... until now!
That’s Entertainment - Joe and Lee are national TV stars at the very top of their
game. It’s awards night, and the entertainment industry has come out in force to
honour their prime time success. But behind the scenes not everything is rosy
in TV land because backstage Joe and Lee are locked in a battle their
audience would never suspect.
Thursday 29th 8pm

‘Takin’ it to another level’
Featuring Michael King & Steve Halliday
Friday 28th 7.30pm
Tickets £15.00
Both performers are unquestionably the best in
the business at being Elvis. ITV1 Stars In Their
Eyes, BBC1 World’s Greatest Elvis, Las Vegas
with The Jordanaires and recording sessions
from the Sun Studios in Memphis are just a few
of the accolades to have been achieved by both.
‘Elvis Rocks’, featuring all the King’s
greatest hits, combined with extensive costume
changes, takes the audience on a highly visual
journey through Elvis’ entire career. Attention
to detail is what makes ‘Elvis Rocks’ stand out
from all other Elvis shows.
From the authenticity provided by the fantastic backing group including double bass
and two drum kits, to the accuracy of the performers both visually and vocally. Even
the Las Vegas style jumpsuits used for the show have been crafted in the U.S.A. from
the same patterns as were used on Elvis’ originals.
Quite simply the most concise musical theatre production encompassing Elvis’
incredible musical journey from his humble beginnings at the Sun Studios
Memphis Tennessee, to the iconic world superstar of Las Vegas.
Every aspect of Elvis’ career is performed to perfection including - Elvis Early Years,
GI Army Elvis, Movie Elvis, the famous ‘Black Leather’ 1968 Comeback Elvis, Gospel
Elvis and of course the jump suited Elvis On Tour from the 1970’s. The ‘Elvis Rocks’
show is without doubt the most complete Elvis musical theatre production available.
