Elvis: The Musical- a review by Lauren Avila

It would seem that the public has a renewed Burnin’ Love for Elvis Presley, without an end in sight. Between the recent Netflix premiere of “Agent Elvis,” Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-nominated film “Elvis,” and ongoing tourism at Graceland, there is an unquenchable thirst for the King of Rock n’ Roll. Now there is a new way to enjoy the legend and his music. Elvis: The Musical made its West Coast premiere this month and has enjoyed a completely sold out run! The bad news is that the curtain will come down in California very soon. However, this same version will be making its Australian debut later this year!

I managed to get a ticket to a daytime performance where, even in the middle of the day, people flocked to the East Sonora Theater to see Elvis in the building. This show tells the rise of the “kid that changed the world.” Playing the man, the myth, and the legend was Taylor Rodriguez. This was not the first time walking a mile in the blue suede shoes for this performer though. According to his credits, he “has had the honor of performing in many musical productions including the Million Dollar Quartet where he starred as Elvis Presley. In 2017 he was named One of the Top 5 Elvis Tribute Artist in the world. In June of 2019, he was crowned the 2019 Tupelo Elvis Festival Champion. Recently, Taylor Rodriguez was named The 2019 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion by Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE).” As you might expect from an introduction like that, Taylor really captures the voice and the moves of Elvis.

The story begins with a nervous Elvis, waiting to go onstage for his career-changing, 68’ Comeback Special. He faces his younger self, in the form of an adorable 11-year old actor named Asher Berg. Kid Elvis asks him, “What are you doing?” In the midst of this self-reflection, the audience embarks on a journey throughout the life of both young Elvis and Elvis, the icon. The show was comprised of a very strong supporting cast! Personally, I’ve seen Broadway shows, touring companies, regional productions, and community theater. I have found that many times the supporting cast can make or break a show. In this case, they truly contributed to an entertaining afternoon. Major standouts include Christopher Michael, Elizabeth Harlen, Olivia Marie Jones, Sage Spiker, Taylor Tveten, and Dedrick Weathersby. They had the kind of stage presence that made you pay attention to them. Perhaps it was a million watt smile, the passion of a southern Reverend, the excitement of a radio DJ in the 50’s, the corniness of a tv announcer in the 60’s, or even a lovestruck Priscilla.

The book comes from Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti who were wise enough to include all the major players in Elvis’ life, the hits you want to hear, and lines that make you think and feel. I really enjoyed the Jersey Boys-like template that many shows tend to follow these days. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? There were poignant moments of heartbreak, light-hearted points of humor that sparked genuine laughter, and even audience interaction that only an Elvis show could truly justify.

Spoiler warning: My favorite parts included the build up to “That’s Alright,” the interaction of Elvis with the front row during his appearance on The Frank Sinatra Show, the compilation of Elvis making his movies, and all the scenes of Kid Elvis and Adult Elvis.

Considering that this show was put on by a local theater company, I was impressed by the visuals. The set was a modest bi-level stage, encompassed by a Vegas-like semi-circle opening. Vinyl records were mounted to the walls on either side of the stage too. The stage’s projection screen added an immersive element, from spinning records to playing background for Elvis’s movies.The band was present onstage throughout, very convenient since they also doubled as Elvis’ actual bandmates. Unfortunately, power outage problems did occur several times but once again I must commend these professionals for not missing a beat. Strange things are, in fact, happening every day!

I must conclude by highlighting Taylor’s performance. Both his speaking and singing voice were very similar to the hip-swinging musician we all know and love. He accompanied himself on guitar. He pulled off all the moves that history has tied to Elvis. He convinced the audience enough of his character that the women were swooning over him by the time he was interacting with (and kissing) them.

All that said, I will say that the show itself may need to be shook up a bit before hitting the stage again. My biggest problem is that there were hardly any solutions for each storyline and character introduced. If you’re looking for trouble, you may find it in the structure of this show. I came out of it feeling like I was missing something. I believe though, with all the potential that Elvis: The Musical has, it can be a hit. Check out this preview below:

ELVIS Film Review

So, I’ve been waiting for this movie to come out for a long time, ever since I first heard about it and its development. When the first trailer dropped a few months ago, my excitement went up even higher. I’ve been counting down this film for awhile and it didn’t disappoint.

So, before I saw the movie, I reacquainted myself with Elvis Presley’s music, watched some of the films he starred in for the first time, and watched the documentary The Searcher to learn anything that I missed. All good ideas because by the time Elvis was released, I was fully ready for the film and all it had to offer.

First, let’s get the bad out of the way. This movie is very stylized and it can be difficult to get used to. It took me a minute to fully get into the film and for the film to find its groove for me because of the messy, stylized beginning. But once it found its groove, it was stunning!

And now for the elephant in the room: Austin Butler. I’ve seen a lot of Elvis fans complaining online that he isn’t Elvis (well, duh!) and he’s just an impersonator. Austin Butler is an actor playing the role. He isn’t going to look exactly like Elvis Presley, no matter how hard he tries. He’s never going to be Elvis Presley. But for the fans complaining about this, I will say I loved him in the role. He gave his heart and soul, and really carried the whole movie. Tom Hanks is usually the actor who overshadows everyone, but Austin Butler overshadowed everyone in this movie. I definitely have a new favorite actor!

The mannerisms and speaking voice and, of course, singing voice, was uncanny. There were a couple parts where I almost forgot I was watching an actor playing the part. The 68 Comeback Special, and especially, “If I Can Dream” sequence comes to mind. “If I Can Dream” was uncanny and it’s a video I’ve watched a thousand times on YouTube. I couldn’t believe how Austin Butler got that one right.

I also liked Tom Hanks in the role. He played a very unlikeable character. It was interesting to see Elvis’ story from the Colonel’s point-of-view. I didn’t agree with all the choices made for this way of telling the story, but I kind of liked the imaginative way they went about it. And they didn’t make the Colonel a sympathetic man, which was something I was afraid of.

And, on top of that, I ‘m glad this film gave credit to the black voices that influenced Elvis. I love Elvis, and have always been a fan, but credit should be given where credit is due. This definitely added a few points in my book.

All in all, Austin Butler gave a phenomenal performance. Whatever problems this film had, Austin Butler carried it all the way. I really hope he at least gets ab Oscar nomination for it. He deserves it for his transformation into the icon.

And if you’re going to be seeing this film, bring some tissues with you! It’s a sad one. I knew the story and the ending already, but I was crying by the end of the movie.

Just a great movie all around. I’ll definitely be owning this when it is released for home viewing.

Hope you all enjoy the movie!

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!!#how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

An FYI to all Elvis Fans Out There

Ok so I’ve been trying to find The Sun Sessions on vinyl for years now. Ever since I first heard the whole thing in college on CD. I really really wanted it on vinyl. But looking for it online, it was selling for upwards of $160 or more. Sometimes even over $200. Definitely not affordable with my budget.

The super expensive records are seen with these covers usually.

Well...why I’m writing this post. With the new movie being released, I decided to try one more time to try to find an affordable version of The Sun Sessions on vinyl a few months back. And I actually did!

Now the cover of this particular record leaves a lot to be desired...but it’s the songs contained on the disc that really counts, anyway. It costs right under $40, not including tax. Now, that’s much more affordable, interesting cover be damned!

Just wanted to pass along this message for anyone who might be interested in owning The Sun Masters on vinyl and wants to own a piece of music history. The last I checked, there were about 7 copies for sale on Amazon. I don’t know if they’re used or new. I got mine new thankfully, since I like buying new records for the most part.

And for the cost, it sounds good on vinyl! At least on my own record player. And it includes the finished songs of every Sun track Elvis recorded. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me and you own a record player and are a fan! “That’s All Right;” “Baby, Let’s Play House;” “Blue Moon;” “Mystery Train;” “Harbor Lights.” All for an affordable price! I couldn’t believe it when I found it and I wanted to pass along the good news for someone else who might be searching for this particular record to own.

Ok ok last Elvis post I promise. I just wanted to pass this along and help out some fans.

Hope you guys have a great July 4 weekend! :D
