"When Elvis met the Beatles"
The clock struck 11 PM at Elvis Presley’s Los Angeles mansion. Under the glow of red and blue lights, The Beatles stepped into a room that seemed to echo the future of music—a jukebox, a crescent couch, and a bar set the stage. Elvis stood at the center, ready for the convergence of two worlds. That night, rock ‘n’ roll royalty sealed its legacy.
"Rock’n’roll is built on dreams. And in the beginning, there was no one who dreamed bigger!" This world premiere musical experience examines where these five legendary artists were in their creative journeys in the Summer of 1965. The first act sets the stage with the music that made them superstars -- Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel, She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and more -- while the second act explores what happens when these artists hit their meteoric rise to celebrity. It's all the music you love and the story you've never heard!
Based on the book ‘Elvis Meets The Beatles’ by Christopher Hutchins and Peter Thompson.
Presented in association with ADAMA Entertainment and In Fine Company Productions.
