ELVIS – Das Musical

His gaze, his voice, his legendary hip swing: Elvis Presley is considered the greatest solo artist of all time with one billion records sold.

In 2027, the recording and release of his worldwide hit "Jailhouse Rock" and the cult film of the same name starring Elvis Presley will celebrate its 70th anniversary. For this occasion, "ELVIS – The Musical", the world's most successful musical biography of the "King," will embark on a grand tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland once again.

Together with Elvis performer Grahame Patrick and Elvis' longtime companion Ed Enoch, the successful production brings to life the greatest hits and the moving life story of the rock 'n' roll legend.

Elvis Aaron Presley, born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, became the most important representative of rock and pop culture in the 20th century during his unparalleled career. The year 1956 is considered the birth year of the "King of Rock'n'Roll" with Presley's first hit single "Heartbreak Hotel" and his debut album "Elvis Presley."

Presley gave his last concert in June 1977, before he officially passed away just a short time later on August 16 due to a sudden heart failure at his estate Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. However, legends and myths surrounding his death still keep Presley unforgettable to this day. For his fans, he still lives on – at least in their hearts.

An impressive homage to the "King of Rock'n'Roll"

Emotional, powerful, and captivating: In "ELVIS – The Musical", audiences can experience the idol of an entire generation up close at various stages of his life.

From the first studio recording as a gift for his mother, through the beginnings with Sam Phillips at the regional label Sun Records and the first released single "That’s All Right" in 1954, the switch to the national RCA label and the international breakthrough in 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel," the debut album "Elvis Presley," and his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker, to the superlative concert "Aloha from Hawaii" in 1973 at the Honolulu International Center Arena, which was the first concert by a solo artist broadcast via satellite to over 40 countries and achieved a higher viewership in the USA than the first moon landing a few years earlier.

The two-and-a-half-hour live spectacle has already thrilled over a million spectators, bringing the magic surrounding the rock 'n' roll icon back to the stage while presenting Elvis Presley's entire musical repertoire live – from gospel to blues to unbridled rock 'n' roll – and impressively reflecting on his life.

"The best Elvis performer since Elvis" and the seven-member "Las Vegas Showband"

With Grahame Patrick, the homage to the "King" has the "world's best Elvis performer since Elvis" among its ranks. When he steps into the spotlight in the world-famous white jumpsuit and other authentic outfits, one might think they are seeing Elvis Presley in person on stage.

Grahame Patrick also impresses with an incredibly close vocal resemblance to the original, which he repeatedly demonstrates throughout the show.

He is accompanied by first-class singers, actors, showgirls, and the seven-member "Las Vegas Showband", who create an unforgettable music experience – and of course, all hits are performed live: from "Love Me Tender" to "Jailhouse Rock" to "Suspicious Minds," as well as gospel songs like "Why me, Lord?" and "How Great Thou Art," the live version of which was awarded a Grammy Award in Memphis in 1974.

Elaborate choreography, dramatic scenes, and original film sequences guide through Elvis' life and wonderfully complete the show spectacle.

Companions and eyewitnesses make the show unique

The uniqueness of "ELVIS – The Musical" is enhanced not only by the outstanding protagonists but also through the involvement of real eyewitnesses and companions.

Ed Enoch, leader of the legendary "The Stamps Quartet," toured with Elvis at over 1,000 concerts from 1971 to 1977 and sang at his funeral. He has also often shared the stage with Grahame Patrick in the context of "ELVIS – The Musical."

The Stamps Quartet is the oldest professional gospel quartet in the history of the United States that is still active. In 2027, Ed Enoch will again support the show live with his "Stamps."

Also involved is original film and photo material from Elvis' former tour manager and concert photographer Ed Bonja (†). He assisted producer Bernhard Kurz not only with his Elvis photographs and recordings but also with his insider knowledge during the development of the musical.
