Commentaires : Simon Bowman’s re-creation of young Elvis at the peak of his professional life was much praised, and Martin Shaw’s portrayal of a legend in decay was similarly acclaimed. The writing and liberties taken with the real life-story were criticised, but the show itself was a great hit with the critics, and won the Evening Standard Best Musical of the Year award. The production originated at Liverpool Playhouse.
