I cannot tell you how disappointing this was. The lead up and hype leading up to this and the promise of never before footage. Amazing technology Ai hologram and the feeling that you were there was non existent . Yes I expect there was a but of technology abd there was one AI moment but that was it. A disgrace to the memory of Elvis.

If I could leave a zero star rating I would! I have just returned home from Elvis evolution. The experience is Certainly not worth the money charged and only hints of Elvis throughout until the end section when we see more actors and Elvis on a big video screen showing a close up of his face while 3 musicians play along with the music from the 68 special that can be easily found on you tube. The Hawaiian Bar is embarrassing with what can only be described as a shower curtain with a beach scene on it and a cardboard cut out of Elvis for people to have a picture with. Well I guess at this point Elvis was in the building in one form or another! Just another pit stop to fleece people of more cash with drinks costing around £12.50 and only 20 mins to order and drink them! . I took my parents, and for us to have a drink each would have been the best part of £30 or more, let alone if we had drinks in each bar available as the organisers obviously plan. Having booked the tickets back in October 2024 on presale as Christmas gifts, it’s been a long wait for Non Holographic shows as originally suggested at that time. The only live action is performed by actors, very little to do with Elvis but instead his childhood friend Sam???? The acting is on par with school play standard although I guess it’s the best they can do with what Layered Reality has given them to use! The lady at the end asking for our passes to bring up the unwanted photo taken at the start was rude and as soon as we made it clear we didn’t want it she was very dismissive and showed us out of the experience! all in all a rip off and I did sit a little bored through half of it wondering When we would even see Elvis only mostly to be shown his image in photos projected on a screen type sheet. 😕. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

As an avid Elvis fan of over 50 years as soon as this was advertised on tv I was buzzing and my son gifted me a ticket for my birthday ❤️ It was likened to the ABBA experience with AI and I was thrilled ( I’ve seen abba with the holograms!) I travelled by train with my daughter in her electric wheelchair she uses and first impressions were not very well signed from the station. We thought the diner looked great 50s style and the staff were really friendly. Then we entered the actual experience. In the first room although my daughter had a space I was told to stand as “it’s only just over half an hour” NTW I do suffer with sciatica. It seemed very rushed and more like an AM tram production but I thought it will get better 🤷‍♀️. The second room was a train ride where I sat on a hard wooden pew and was rattled around leaving my sciatica screaming! No basic health and safety pointing out the fire exit doors which were painted black against black background with dry ice all around 🤦🏻‍♀️. Then the Tiki bar where I was served a blue sticky cocktail with half a glass of ice 😉. At the back was an Elvis cardboard cut out with a backdrop resembling a shower curtain ( clamps could be clearly seen). The 68 special felt like anything but and the after party consisted of a bad karaoke singer who kept banging the mic loudly! No dancing, no party spirit just stoic looking fans disappointed and in shock 😮. We finished our drink and rushed to the nearest exit! Interestingly enough there was a leaflet on the table saying if we took a selfie and left a review (obviously a glowing one) you could win a trip to Memphis! So take the glowing reviews with a huge pinch of salt!

I went to Elvis Evolution in London and it was absolutely incredible. The music was outstanding, the acting was filled with raw energy and emotion, and the whole performance was unforgettable. The cast gave their all and created a powerful celebration of Elvis that left me speechless. What really stood out was the atmosphere every single person around me loved it just as much as I did. You could feel the excitement and joy in the room from start to finish. That’s why I can’t understand the negative reviews floating around online. They simply don’t reflect the show I saw. To me, those criticisms are completely unjustified. If you’re a true Elvis fan, you’ll appreciate the passion, talent, and respect poured into every performance. Elvis would have been proud of this cast. I cannot recommend this show highly enough thank you to everyone involved for an experience I’ll never forget.

After booking this in October last year myself and my son were beyond excited to finally be going to see the show about our idol. I simply cannot believe that the organisers are allowed to take people's hard earned money for this absolutely disgraceful, second rate show , in my opinion our local village amateur dramatic society could have produced much better. There is hardly a day goes by without hearing an Elvis song playing in our house at some point so to see a tribute which was more about Sam Bell, someone who knew Elvis when he was 12 was carried out we were so disappointed. It got to the point that we had to leave at the halfway interval rather than put ourselves through any more torture. To add insult to injury when we asked to speak to the manager , who , incidentally didn't seem surprised that we were leaving , she told us that her name was "Pricilla" !!! Come on love ! Don't you think you have taken the micky out of us enough . In summary, the only reason I have given a 1 star is because there is no facility to give it a minus 10.

3 generations of my family had an enjoyable shared experience . This is not a “greatest hits” show, no, there isn’t an avatar…but an insight into the man himself, where he came from, is challenges…and the opportunity to dance at the end! Go see it with an open mind and make up your own mind

If there was a zero star I would have ticked that! I can't find enough words of how shit this was yesterday. 2 hours of my life completely wasted not to mention the £75!

WARNING - THIS IS A TOTAL £214 RIP OFF for each of us. To say this event was a disappointment would be a gross understatement. (See Tripadvisor for confirmation of all the many very bad reviews). Room One – “NBC Studio” 1. The entire presentation was an embarrassing and amateurish mess—cringe worthy from start to finish. While the actors gave it their all, the production, choreography, and script were so poorly executed that I imagine the performers must have questioned their own career choices. This was at a lower standard than anything I’ve witnessed at my grandchildren’s school plays—even seven year olds. You could have got a school music teacher to choreograph this better. 2. The layout—stacked wooden boxes with attendees gathered around—suggested a prelude to something grander. Nothing happened. Was there a story? If so, no one understood it. 3. Why was there a Black airman portrayed as a companion of Elvis? Elvis served in the Army, and I’ve found no historical record of such a friendship or association. This baffled many audience members. 4. The room resembled a storage facility more than any kind of studio. 5. As we were ushered out, people exchanged disbelieving looks, stunned by what they had just endured. 6. Whoever choreographed this segment should be replaced, along with anyone who approved it as even marginally acceptable. Room Two – flat seating pews 1. The only redeeming aspect of this half-hour waste of time was the wide screen (but thin and narrow). 2. The presentation was meant to show the “evolution” of Elvis’s life. It failed miserably. As an Elvis fan with a reasonably deep knowledge, even I couldn’t discern a coherent narrative. For those who attended simply for the music, without prior knowledge of his life story, would have left no wiser than when they arrived. 3. Who wrote this screenplay? Was it an intern on their first day? 4. Again, there were puzzled expressions all around as we exited. Room Three – “Blue Hawaii” (Refreshment Pit stop) 1. This is Britain—yet there was no tea or coffee. It felt like a calculated move to boost alcohol revenue. 2. Two large cloth screens projected what I assume was meant to be entertainment. It wasn’t. The same five short video clips were repeated in a continuous loop. By the time we left, we’d seen them about ten times. With Elvis’s massive video archive, surely someone could have created a longer, more engaging sequence tailored to the break duration. Room Four – Theatre 1. After one and a half hours of uninspired tedium, morale was low. 2. We'd barely seen or heard the Elvis we know and cherish—brief glimpses at best, despite many attendees travelling across the country at great expense. 3. Thankfully, the final 30 minutes were lively and redeeming. 4. Without this final segment, I’d have demanded my money back. Room Five – Café Ok, BUT – while the girl singer was giving her best, it should have been a GOOD Elvis impersonator. There are literally hundreds in the UK, and most would love the work, even at minimum wage. A female cannot possibly put out any ‘Elvis’ vibe at all (and there was none), however good a singer she may be. The VIP area - which cost £300 is in a worse position than everyone else, and was just a rope! Souvenir Shop 1. The selection was pitiful. Elvis memorabilia is vast, and yet you offered almost nothing. There should’ve been everything from £1.50 key rings to higher-end items across a thoughtful range. 2. The few items on offer (20ish) were exorbitantly priced, which explained why most people browsed and walked out empty-handed. 3. At music events like this, souvenir sales are bustling. In your case, it was the opposite. A modest local shopkeeper would have done a better job, despite your resources. 4. They lost a lot of additional revenue. Overall Experience The marketing was grossly misleading. It promised a stunning, once-in-a-lifetime electronic experience. What we got was third-rate, poorly executed, and frankly insulting. Was this a bait-and-switch? Where were the cutting-edge visuals? Did they ever exist? My local village community group could have delivered a more coherent and entertaining experience. CONCLUSION 1. They need to hire a professional choreographer and a seasoned production specialist to overhaul Rooms 1–3 and the shop. Room 4 was the only saving grace. 2. They need to hire an Elvis impersonator(s) THEY NEED TO DO THIS URGENTLY OR WILL NOT RECOVER FROM THIS RIP-OFF. Since arriving back home I’ve seen several reviews echoing my views. The event was dire. My total cost for the trip was £214, plus four hours on a crowded train and another hour on the Underground. I heard several foreign languages (German/Dutch/Italian) – I dread to think how much this fiasco cost them in travel and hotels? THANKS FOR NOTHING.
