To celebrate 50 years since Elvis Presley’s televised special, which later came to be known as his ’68 Comeback Special, aired on NBC Television, Bill Kenwright presents This is Elvis - Burbank and Elvis.

It’s 1968 - the major musical event of the year is the first live TV special for Elvis Presley in what would come to be known as ‘The ’68 Comeback Special’. Drawing phenomenal ratings, this event re-establishes Elvis as the major entertainment star of the decade, and twelve months later Elvis stars at the International Hotel in Vegas, performing live for the first time in seven years, and securing his place in history as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll! This production celebrates 50 years since the TV phenomenon and is testament that his songs live on and the King still rules!

In the coveted role of Elvis is international award-winning tribute artist and actor Steve Michaels (formerly known as Stephen Michael Kabakos). His passion for Elvis sparked at a very young age, and has continued to be the drive behind his extraordinary success.

His masterful performance and remarkable renditions of the King have garnered him worldwide attention, and he has played alongside some of Elvis Presley’s iconic band mates including the legendary drummer DJ Fontana and bassist Jerry Scheff. In addition, he has shared the stage with the extraordinary Jordanaires and the soulful voices of the Sweet Inspirations. Steve’s exquisite styling and ability to successfully capture an authentic portrayal of Elvis Presley has endeared him to audiences everywhere.

This is Elvis re-creates all the drama leading up to the comeback as well as staging the monumental concert. It then proceeds with The King to his Vegas debut. Featuring Elvis’s greatest hits including Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, All Shook Up, Jailhouse Rock, Are you Lonesome Tonight?, Can’t Help Falling in Love, In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds and many more…

This is Elvis will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, April 3 to Saturday, April 7. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk.
