mahe34...I saw the show on 2/13/2010. I was a bit skeptical as well after reading mixed reviews. I have saw most of the cirque shows in Vegas and while I can tell you this show is quite diffrent from the other cirque shows, this is a WONDERFUL show. Go in with an open mind and enjoy the story line as it progresses through his life. The band is AWEOME and they have most of the bugs worked out of the show and acrobatics. Watch out from the ceiling during the finale and you just may get a souvenir.

you need to remember that this show is still in previews.. the actual gala premiere for the show is sometime mid february.. so hopefully all the technical glitches will be sorted out by then..

Sorry for hearing about the show! I saw it and loved it! I thought it was great and am glad you are not changing it. Wish it would be there longer so I could see it again! Go see it if you can!

Great show. It's sad it's not doing well...attendance is so low they are seriously talking about getting rid of it

i think its always a good idea to tribute THE KING, but i just dont like when they ruin the songs... they should have used the originals instead of making crappy arrangements that actually cannot match Elvis's range of voice. It doesn't sound right for some reason. LONG LOVE ELVIS PRESLEY. and always remember that Priscilla is still making money with his image and dont forget she didnt help him when he needed her the most.

i remember checking out the very first cirque show in vegas - it was at the Rio - how time flies and progressiveness evolves into a legacy. awesome

@xxpattytech fo the record that wasnt supposed to be two elvises it was elvis and and his twin brother jesse. mainly the act symbolized the time they spent in the womb and at the end one had fallen , that one being jesse who had died during child birth

@xxpattytech "one night" with you...

what  was the song when the two elvis' were on the giant guitar?

Correction here : There is no story line, there is no emotion, there is just nothing to talk about aside from the disgrace to the Graceland owner. This is not representative of Cirque du Soleil, this is simply just not a good show! The great finally is a bunch of red scarfs falling down from the ceiling which you can catch if you're not sitting under the balcony (where I was :-(). AMAZING music!!!
