Photo Flash: ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING Opens Next Month at Chanticleers

It's December 20, 1970 in the office of Elvis Presley's personal manager, "The Colonel" Tom Parker. A shrewd businessman and former carnival purveyor, the Colonel is usually well in charge of every situation involving Elvis - but not today. It seems that an important concert is scheduled and the King of Rock n' Roll has disappeared and is nowhere to be found. The Colonel is frantic because he's acquired a secret gambling debt with a bigtime mobster, and Elvis' concert appearance is how he had arranged to pay off his debt and escape harm's way. Now what is he to do? What happens from here on out is hilariously funny. Audiences will be rolling in the aisles as the Colonel desperately tries to replace a man who is - well, simply irreplaceable.
