(Doug
Weich)
Back by popular demand, Elvis Presley
tribute artist Doug Weich marks his 7th consecutive year at the upgraded Rhumbelow
Theatre with his new show Viva Las Vegas.
The show takes audiences on a journey of
what it was like on the Vegas Strip when Elvis Presley was headlining at the
International Hotel, when he made his return to live performances with his
iconic gem studded jumpsuits, starting from his debut in 1969 up until his last
performance in 1977.
The show also gives a glimpse of what other
iconic performers such as Cher, Tina Turner, Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton, Elton
John and Diana Ross were entertaining in Vegas over the same period.
Viva
Las Vegas is a show with all the glitz and glamour
and is packed with timeless classic hits of yesteryear such as Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock,
Heartbreak Hotel, Johnny B Goode, Suspicious Minds, New York New York, Chain
Reaction, Proud Mary, just to name a few, that will keep the audience
thoroughly entertained for the full 90min performance.
A Rocktainment Production, Weich is backed
by his well accomplished, multi-talented eight-piece band, MSG, comprising Wade
Wight (keyboards / male backing vocals); Evan Cullum (piano / male backing
vocals); Glen Turrell (bass guitar); Alec Mackay (drums); David Knott (lead
guitar), and Kirsty Van Der Linde (saxophone) with Claire Rowlette and Sandi Da
Cunha on female vocals.
