(Doug
Weich)
Elvis
& Me - The Priscilla Story will be presented by
the Rhumbelow in Durban this month and in Pietermaritzburg in September.
Back by popular demand, Elvis Presley
tribute artist Doug Weich marks his sixth consecutive year at the Rhumbelow
Theatre with his new show. It tells the story, seen through Priscilla’s eyes,
about the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla from when they first met up
until the day the music died with the passing of Elvis on August 16, 1977.
It takes us on a journey through the
different eras of Elvis and Priscilla, as we pay tribute to one of the greatest
entertainers of all times, the King of Rock n’ Roll, and pay tribute to his
Queen, the one and only true love of his life, Priscilla Presley. It was a fairytale
love story that was filled with so much happiness but ended in so much
heartache. A love and regret that was so strong that neither fame nor fortune
could stop the downward spiral that would eventually lead to Elvis’
self-destruction.
Weich is backed by his accomplished, multi-talented
8-piece band, MSG, featuring Wade Wight; Evan Cullum; Glen Turrell; Andy
Turrell; David Knott; Kirsty Madgin; Nicky Knott and Sandi Da Cunha.
A Rocktainment Production, this show is for
audiences of all ages and not to be missed, with all-time favourites such as Whole Lot Of Loving, That’s Alright Mama,
G.I. Blues, Blue Suede Shoes, Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Johnny B. Goode
and Suspicious Minds, just to name a
few.
