AFTER more than ten years on the road, The Elvis Years is one of the most successful tributes to the King and is set to rock and roll into Dorset in January.
The production promises “an unforgettable journey” through the life and times of Elvis Presley, drawing on more than three decades of hits to feature a host of his best-known songs including Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, It’s Now or Never, Suspicious Minds and the showstopping American Trilogy, as well as lesser known highlights like Bossa Nova Baby and Rock A Hula Baby.
The Elvis Years stars Mario Kombou, who has been performing as Elvis for more than 20 years and was the original lead in the West End production of Jailhouse Rock. He appears with a live band led by award-winning producer and musical director David Mackay.
“There is something about Elvis and his music that speaks to people,” says Mario. “He was the King. His music is too special to let fade into history, and seeing the audience light up night after night is such an incredible experience.
“There is a reason this show sells out in some of the best venues in the country, and that is because the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is as important now as he ever was.” The Elvis Years is at Lighthouse Poole on Wednesday, January 30 at 7.45pm. Tickets: £23. Call 01202 280000.
