The songs of Elvis Presley filled the hall of MasterCard Theatres on Tuesday night. Direct from Vegas, the “Legends in Concert” featuring The Ultimate Tribute to Elvis performed for the first time in Singapore from 2 April to 5 April 2015.
Featuring the Ultímate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest winners, Bill Cherry (2009), Dean Z (2013) and Jay Dupuis (2014) as the principle cast, the show focused on key stages of Elvis' career: Sun Studios, television shows, movies and soundtracks, Vegas.
Being a tribute show, the mood was more celebratory and the key events were mere background of introducing the songs.
The performers sounded and looked like Elvis, and they took the opportunity to be friendly with the ladies. Inevitable a lot of the ladies hugged the performers and also received momentos from them. .
Most segments worked well, though the video segments could be long at times. The Blue Hawaii segment was rather flat in presentation, and the introduction of the Ann-Margret tribute artist was more a distraction to me.
I however enjoyed the jamming session, in which they performed hits such as "Are you lonesome tonight".
Audience were also treated to many hits including Crying in the Chapel, Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, and my favourites Suspicious Mind and If I Can Dream.
The Vegas segment.
Overall a well produced show and dedicated performance from the artists. At times, I imagined I was watching the King of Rock and Roll live! A good time to recognise how great Elvis Presley is.
