HILARIOUS:
Joe Reeve
as Elvis Presley

This weekend, it’s time to shake the dust off your favourite tropical shirt and escape to paradise as new musical comedy, Elvis In Blue Hawaii, from Spitz & Co, comes to town.
Expect mayhem, masses of audience interaction and all the best-loved Elvis songs as award-winning Elvis impersonator Joe Reeve (Best Sideburns, GlosVegas 2014) stars in his version of the classic Elvis film, while his long-time tour manager, Josephine Cunningham keeps the show on the road – where the next stop’s Vegas.
