ELVIS - Das Musical — Festspielhaus, Baden-Baden

His gaze, his voice, his legendary hip swing: Elvis Presley, with a billion records sold, is widely regarded as the greatest solo artist of all time. 2027 marks the 70th anniversary of the recording and release of his worldwide hit "Jailhouse Rock" and the cult film of the same name, in which Elvis starred. To mark the occasion, "ELVIS - Das Musical" - the world's most successful musical biography of the "King" - sets out once again on a major tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Alongside Elvis portrayer Grahame Patrick and Elvis's long-time companion Ed Enoch, this acclaimed production brings the greatest hits and the moving life story of the rock'n'roll legend back to the stage.

Elvis Aaron Presley, born on 8 January 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, became the defining figure of 20th-century rock and pop culture over the course of his extraordinary career. The year 1956 - with Presley's first hit single "Heartbreak Hotel" and his debut album "Elvis Presley" - is considered the birth of the "King of Rock'n'Roll". Presley gave his last concert in June 1977, before passing away on 16 August that year, officially from sudden cardiac arrest at his Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee. Yet legends and myths surrounding his death have never faded, keeping Presley alive in the public imagination to this day. For his fans, he never really left - at least not in their hearts.

A powerful tribute to the "King of Rock'n'Roll"
Emotional, vocally stunning and utterly gripping: "ELVIS - Das Musical" takes audiences through the key moments of an idol's life. From his very first studio recording - a gift for his mother - through his early days with Sam Phillips at the regional Sun Records label and the release of his first single "That's All Right" in 1954, to his move to the national RCA label and his international breakthrough in 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel" and his debut album.
