Elvis Is Everywhere
Presented by On Stage Touring, LLC, in association with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., the extravagant mix of multimedia with live performances features the finalists from the annual Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest portraying the legendary artist in different stages of his career.
Who are the tribute artists judged worthy enough to portray Elvis? That would be Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest winner Bill Cherry along with top-five finalists Kevin Mills, Leo Days and Ben Klein.
But this explosion of everything Elvis wouldn’t be complete without a very capable performer playing Ann-Margret, The King’s show-biz crush who played opposite him in “Viva Las Vegas.” For this very important person in Elvis’ life, the tour features Lorri Russo as the red-haired superstar.
With the tribute artists joined by a live band, each performance also includes back-up singers and dancers as well as imagery from the Graceland archives. An added treat is a new exhibit of Elvis’ stage-wear that will be on display in each venue’s lobby.
“We are excited to be working with some of the most exceptional tribute artists in the world,” On Stage Touring executive producer Barbara Cooley said.
“These talented performers really capture the spirit of the King of Rock ’N’ Roll while evoking the sensation of being there with Elvis as he journeys through his musical career. “Elvis Lives” is truly a dynamic and family friendly production.”
