Conceived 20 years ago to satisfy the throngs of Elvis fans, The Elvis Birthday Tribute features over two hours of live music featuring some of the world's best Elvis re-creators. The show will take place in the State Theatre on January 10th, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
The Elvis Birthday Tribute recreates the memorable Elvis eras including his rockabilly beginnings, the military years, the movie years and his comeback, all the way up to his Las Vegas days. Serious Elvis followers, rock fans and lovers of live musical theater will be treated to 50 Elvis songs, with the tribute artists decked out in replicas of The King's flashy wardrobe.
The show will feature three Elvis re-creators.
