Elvis Presley tribute artists who have captivated audiences throughout the world are coming together to perform in a 26-city tour of The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artists. The Tour is a multi-media concert extravaganza that pays homage to Elvis during various stages of his career. The four performers are tribute artists who were previously selected as finalists at worldwide preliminary competitions for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, held annually by Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.
The Elvis tribute artists, who will be joined by a live band, back-up singers, dancers, as well as iconic imagery made available from the Graceland archives, portray Elvis in one of four eras: the 1950s, 1960s, during his movie career and his concert years.

These Performers did an excelent job tonight in Jacksonville Fl. If you love Elvis you should see this show. The artist have Tastefully reenacted the all eras of his career. I saw Elvis perform and was a little afraid I may be dissapointed in the show but I really enjoyed it very much. It was like we had him back for the night. If you never saw an Elvis concert you will be happy to see this show and for those of us who did see him we relived a wonderful memory of seeing the greatest performer in the world. What a wonderful opportunity. Elvis lives in our hearts and always will.
I took my mother to see the show…she is a HUGE Elvis Fan!
Turns out I enjoyed it as much as she did! They were all good but, I have to say that Victor Trevino was my favorite!
Saw your show in Punta Gorda, and it was AWESOME and FANTASTIC.
Also noticed the future tour dates.Why did you leave out the New England area. Would have loved to see it again.
The show in Jacksonville, FL last night was so exciting! They all were wonderful performers. Hope they come back around soon! Well worth seeing! It was a dream come true. For two hours I felt like I really got to see and hear Elvis on stage!
OMG I am going tommorow night to see the show and this is a perfect birthday present cause today I turn 30!!! I’ll be at the Augusta show and I am so excited!!!
Saw the show in Miami and I was very impressed!!! they did an amazing job. I have seen many Elvis acts in the past and thought it might not meet my expectations, but it did more than that it exceeded my expectations, thry were all very professional and didn’t miss any details, Victor Trevino was AWESOME!!!!! would see again in a heartbeat!!!!
My dad went to see Elvis in Augusta in 1956. He took twenty of us to the show tonight and he said it felt like he had gone back in time to 1956. The performers did a great job of portraying Elvis through every stage of his career. I felt as if I was actually at an real Elvis concert.
This entire show is a first-class production. It was well worth the price of admission. The Elvis artists were amazing, as were the backup singers and band. All the costumes were beautiful. The casting director of this production was obviously Very selective. Each cast member was outstanding. Well produced… beautiful sets…. excellent music…. I really felt like I had seen an Elvis show. I saw the show in Augusta GA.
OMG!!! These performers did an EXCELLENT job last night in Evansville IN!!!! I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!! It actually felt like I was at a real Elvis concert! This is a must see show for ALL Elvis fans!!!! You definitely won’t be disappointed!!!!
I saw the show at Evansville, In last nite. Great does not do it justice. I loved the show. Loved the fact that it took me back a few years. Back to a more relaxed and fun time.
I saw the show in Peoria, Illinois Feb. 6, 2010. It was fantastic.
I made my husband go with me. He was reluctant. He enjoyed the show as much as I did. This was part of my birthday celebration.
It was one of the best birthdays I have had and I have had 69.
I hope they come back to Peoria. I would love to see the show again. Leo was my favorite of the performers. The rest were very good. Thank you for a very wonderful show.
Hi! I recently saw the Ultimate Elvis Tour in Asheville NC and LOVED it!!!! I was wondering if anyone knew how to get Bill Cherry’s autograph?! I would love to have it! Thanx and keep on putting on a great show!
Our family loved the show and we were able to meet the stars after the show. Our 5 year old son loved Heather(singer/dancer)and Lori Russo(Ann Margret)and told everyone at school the next day that he had a new girlfriend, Ann Margret. We had previously met Heather in Myrtle Beach at Legends In Concert and our son who was 3 at the time fell in love with her then. So he already told his friends at school he was going to see his girlfriend that night at the show. Now, he has two girlfriends in one show. Yikes!! We are proud to say he sure picks pretty girls to be his girlfriends. The girls always seem to be in show business too.
I just saw the show in Charlotte NC…It was Fantastic….can’t wait for it to come back to town. This was a First Class production!!!

Saw the show last night in Charleston SC and really enjoyed it. My favorite was Leo Days!!
I was never lucky enough to see Elvis in person which I always had wanted to do. I didn’t know what to expect going to the Tribute show,but I have to say I was pretty much blown away!!! Had 5th row seats,so not to bad on that account.Got so excited at one point that I jumped up out of my seat and dropped my digital camera,with lens extended directly on the lens!! Several people around me said OH S****, along with me. My son gave me tickets for my Christmas,and I was so excited I thought it would never come. They did a marvelous tribute to E.and it ended way to soon! The only thing bad was that I didn’t see very much advertising about it,and I think it would have drawn a much bigger crowd. I am still looking at the pictues I took,and believe me I took a LOT. Will try to get them on here soon. Thanks again guys,you did a fantastic job. LOVED,LOVED,LOVED IT.Am listening to him at this very moment, Lets make this a twice yearly thing, I’ll be there.

Show was great, amazing, just outstanding. We had a group of 25 people that attended and we were blown away at the talent of the performers. All the guys sound or look like ELVIS. We thought Leo was great as the 68 special man, Victor was fab…as younger ELVIS he has the voice and the moves down to a tee. Kevin was good as movie EP and Bill was good as the later ELVIS IN CONCERT. Over all we enjoyed ourselves and would go again if available.
My husband and I saw the Daytona beach show..EXCELLENT!!! all great performers I loved Leo Days and we both liked Bill Cherry..the others were good too Victor had the moves but Leo had elvis 68 perfect..looked amazing..next time let a few strands of hair fall like elvis did
we would go again!!!My sister in Ct. would like to see!!! Would love autographed pictures if available??? fan club ?? any info!
