Free tix from work which was the ONLY way I was going to see this show after hearing/reading so many mixed reviews. I came in with zero expectations and left being entertained for 90 minutes.
Viva Elvis is just a $20 million version of "Vegas: The Show" at Saxe Theater.
We saw the 9:30 show on a Friday night and the place was 65% full at best. I liked the design of the theatre itself and the decor outside of it was really cool too.
I grew up with all the music (thanks, Mom!) and know Elvis's story pretty well so I was into all the songs. I was toe tapping the whole time!! My wife knew about half the songs but was more interested in the fact that Carly Smithson was singing in the show (big American Idol fan).
The trampoline part was the coolest "cirque" of the show but its just an extension of the same part in Mystere. I kinda hate that I've become jaded with Cirque shows and that I'm so picky and kinda numb/dull about them now. If someone had never seen a show in LV before and saw this..they would probably think it was freakin awesome.
Still better than KA....most things are. Nowhere close to as good as "O". Only worth paying for if you're an Elvis fan.
