  • After reading very mixed reviews, I didn't know what to expect, but thought it was high time to find out for myself. I just saw the newly revamped Viva ELVIS show on Valentine's Day at deeply discounted prices for locals, and must say that Diane and I liked it very much. Both of us are inveterate Elvis fans, and I actually saw the king of rock & roll perform live once. In fact, he was the most charismatic entertainer I have ever viewed up close. The changed show has taken out some of the campy elements like a bunch of black-wigged Elvi, and added a sequence near the end of human tossing wherein several Cirque du Soleil acrobats--consisting of both men and women--either get flipped or fling themselves atop other performers, that consummates with a group of men standing on each other's shoulders four high after the fourth man gets flipped on top of the other three. Very impressive! I was fortunate enough to also see the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil Tribute Show one of the few days it was in town at the Mandalay Bay Events Center late last year, and this show reminded me a lot of it in its mix of video, live performers, acrobatics, and song and dance. Sometimes Elvis' voice was used in songs, and other times Cirque vocalists took the lead. It looked like there wasn't a bad seat in the house, which was packed to near capacity on this V-Day. And, great photographic and video sequences of Elvis predominated on the very large digital screen, most all of which I had never seen before. One particular steamy sequence of Elvis kissing numerous women in the several films in which he appeared stood out, as did the colorful soaring comic book superheroes who bounded from trampolines, and the striped convicts who walked upside down during the playing of "Jail House Rock." The 50's girls seemed to fit the theme of this production, but a cowboy with moonshine in his arms didn't--until he picked up a flaming lasso and twirled it around himself on a Western movie set. All finished amid a shower of shiny red scarves bearing a silk-screened profile of the king himself with guitar in hand in contrasting white. Diane was lucky enough to score one from a performer running by. I think Elvis would have been proud of this freshly tweaked show that bears his name. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing it while you still can.
