THE Elvis Years are coming to the Palace Theatre in Redditch with a musical stroll down Memory Lane, with the King's best songs as the soundtrack.

Toes will tap like it was yesterday, on Thursday, June 16, from 7.30pm.

A spokesman said: "This is an outstanding musical production which brings to the stage the incredible and compelling story of the ‘King of Rock and Roll’ - Elvis Presley.

"With a top line-up of actor-musicians, multiple costume changes and nostalgic film footage, this glittering two-hour production charts the musical and emotional highs and lows of Elvis’ amazing journey from poor truck-driving teenager from Tupelo, Mississippi through the army, Hollywood and finally the legendary Las Vegas concerts."

Directed by top record producer David Mackay, who has worked with Dusty Springfield, Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler and New Seekers, the lead role "is perfectly portrayed by Mario Kombou, from the West End production Jailhouse Rock, who is officially endorsed by Elvis Presley Enterprises and Elvis’ first cousin Donna Presley".

The spokesman added: "This feelgood show will instantly transport you back to the golden years of rock’n’roll, as you witness Elvis audition for the very first time at Sun Studios, then become part of the TV audience for the '68 Comeback Special, and finally dance in the aisles at a Las Vegas concert as Mario recreates with incredible accuracy the charisma, stage presence and humour of the man himself, and you may even get your hands on a scarf.

"Taking in all the biggest hits including Always On My Mind, recently voted the UK's all-time favourite Elvis song, That’s Alright Mama, All Shook Up, Blue Suede Shoes, Suspicious Minds, American Trilogy as well as Hollywood favourites Bossa Nova Baby and Viva Las Vegas, you will leave the building on cloud nine."
