Diego Valsecchi & Band - Elvis lives!

Description

More than 10,000 enthusiastic spectators have already celebrated the King's comeback. Standing ovations, sold-out halls, and an audience that couldn't get enough long after the last encore. Now the successful show from Valais is going on its second big tour through Switzerland – with new surprises, even more musical energy, and a good dose of Elvis magic. The phenomenon continues. The myth grows. And the King is ready to conquer the stages again. ELVIS LIVES! All rumors are true: Elvis faked his death and went into hiding in Valais. The King has lived there for almost fifty years – hidden and secretive, but never forgotten. Now he is back. And he has a lot to tell. What was life like after his death? Why does he still look so damn young? Did he find his great love in the mountains? What does he have to do with the fall of the Berlin Wall? And how the hell is Michael Jackson, his son-in-law? Between music and wink-wink fantasy, the successful actor and cabaret artist Diego Valsecchi shows us his very own Elvis. The King's second life – with wit, charm, and poetry. Accompanied by a four-member live band and two singers, Presley's immortal songs sound in a new, fresh interpretation that still preserves the spirit of the originals. An evening full of humor, nostalgia, and touching moments. Those who love Elvis will want to marry this evening. And those who don't know him yet will wonder how they managed all these years without him. Even if many things in this world have gone awry – after this evening you can rely on one thing: Deep in a Valais side valley between sun-tanned chalets, freshly painted raclette, sparkling glaciers, and the sweet intoxication of adulterated white wine, our boldest dreams have come true – ELVIS LIVES!
