Starring Ireland’s foremost Elvis performer Kevin Doyle and his regular backing group the Way It Was orchestra, this is an updated version of the sell-out theatre show that always leaves the audience on their feet wanting more.

In a new addition to the show, the group will be joined by the Valley Gospel Singers, now this time around there will be over 22 people on stage in full costume adding an extra vocal depth to the sound and recalling the music that Elvis himself loved to play
The live band will play all the major hits – from Elvis’ early recordings as he took his first steps in the world of rock, through to his ‘comeback’ TV special in 1968 and the towering live performances of the 1970s. In all, there will be 20 musicians on stage, faithfully recreating the sounds that people know and love from every era in the King’s career.
Stand-out numbers include That’s All Right, Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, It’s Now Or Never, An American Trilogy and of course, Suspicious Minds. The show also features film footage, special guest voiceovers to give audiences a rare look into Elvis’ life through sound, image and live performances.
