Buzzing, Feb 13, 2011

reviewer: S-ABSussex from UK, Sussex

We saw this on Saturday 12th and were very pleasantly surprised having read the previous reviews. We aren't Elvis officianadoes and don't even know much of the music of that era but we thorougly enjoyed the show. Jerry Lee Lewis was outstanding and the whole theatre was upstanding at the end, begging for more - that speaks volumes. A great new show for London.

It Rocks, Feb 07, 2011

reviewer: Peter & Su-Su O'Grady from Manchester UK

We saw this show last year in Chicago. It is truly magnificent. Poignant, funny, intriguing and uplifting - all played out against a background of stunningly performed early rock n roll numbers. Breathtaking. We will make sure we catch it again in London.

Not for real fans, Feb 09, 2011

reviewer: Dazzle Monroe from London

I had high expectations for this show. Being a fan of both Elvis and Johnny Cash, and knowing the story of the studio session for some time, I was looking forward to seeing the recreation of that day.
Unfortunately, as soon as Elvis opened his mouth, and my girlfriend's grip on my knee tightened, I wanted to leave.
I have heard and seen much more convincing imitators than this guy, and he's lucky I wasn't in the audition panel.
The acting was no better than "high school show".
As for the female singer, I winced every time she approached the microphone, so penetrating and shrill was her voice.
Jerry Lee was ok and Perkins was passable.
The star of the show for me was Derek Hagen as Johnny Cash. He had the voice and the moves down to a tee. I would've preferred to spend my money on a show with just him doing Cash songs.
Maybe it was just us, because the sea of grey haired, leather trousered, bowler hatted, post-menopausal theatre goers surrounding us seemed to be oblivious to how awful

Super production, Feb 11, 2011

reviewer: Bevkan from London

We saw the London show last night, absolutely brilliant from the minute it started to the closing notes... vibrant, full of energy and emotion, foot tapping, hand clapping.... superb cast. Highly recommended. What a brilliant start to the new year theatre calendar, setting the standards..A step back in history where you really felt part of the memorable day in 1956.
