Cirque
du Soleil’s newest show,
Viva ELVIS, is a
celebration of the life of Elvis Presley. Combining the
beautiful costumes and stage settings of the
Cirque du Soleil Company with re-mastered
versions of Presley’s greatest song hits,
Viva ELVIS will have you reliving the most
important moments in Elvis’ career live at the Aria Theatre.
Elvis changed history with his breakthrough performances of songs like “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Hound Dog.” He revolutionized American music and brought thousands of women to hysterics over his looks and his dancing, which were deemed too sexy for the 1950’s. Some people said Elvis’ music would bring down society, but he became a legend in the music world. Call him Elvis, or the King, either way everyone will know who you’re talking about.
Expect to see wonderful dancing and choreography to highlight the musical aspects of the show. What makes
Viva ELVIS
different from other Cirque du Soleil shows is the fact that there will be some acting incorporated into the program. You
will see the most important moments from Elvis’ life on stage, from his first television performance of “Hound Dog” to his legendary reign in Las Vegas, where Elvis spent the last years of his life performing. This is Cirque du Soleil’s
second adventure into the world of rock & roll.
