Keeping the flame alive

Too much Elvis is never enough if the audience response to the stream of tribute artists is any indication.
But the man considered to be the best of them all will bring his show to Geelong direct from a sold out national tour.
Australia’s premier Elvis artist Mark Anthony relives the great hits of the king of rock ‘n’ roll in his 2016 tour If I Can Dream.
Anthony promised his new two hour international concert experience recreated the essence and all the magical hits that inspired and shook the world.
Elvis’s number-one hits are performed in the original style that made Elvis the great performer he was.
Those hits such as Heartbreak Hotel, Don’t be Cruel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, Teddy Bear, Jailhouse Rock, Stuck on You, It’s Now or Never, Wooden Heart, Surrender, Return To Sender and many more will all be there.
Elvis had more than 600 million record sales worldwide and was a three-time Grammy award winner, but his untimely death robbed a generation of his concert experience.
Anthony said he strives to recreate the experience of The King live in concert.
He promised a performance complete with five costume changes chronicling Presley’s remarkable career from early 1950s rock ‘n’ roller and through his movie years to the magnificent 1968 comeback special and the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii TV satellite special.
Anthony said he strives to be one of the most dynamic Elvis tribute artists in the world as he performs internationally to “keep the flame and legacy of the king of rock ‘n’ roll alive”.
Anthony appears at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 4 June.
