I thought this was great and really good value for money. We went with an open mind, which I suggest everyone does, and found it to be very educational in many ways. I’m not quite sure what the people who were disappointed expected. It appears to me those disappointed were a lot of old women upset that Elvis didn’t come on stage and have sex with them. I think a lot of people were also uncomfortable that the influence of black culture on Elvis was emphasised. This is what made him so great and I particularly enjoyed that part of the experience, but I think there are others that didn’t. Thank you to the cast you were fantastic, keep up the good work and ignore the negativity of a certain section of society.

I'd read the reviews so was expecting something truly dreadful but honestly I had a great time. I really don't understand the terrible reviews at all.
I went with my daughters, we purchased tickets back in January, think we ended up paying around £60 each and I feel I definitely had my moneys worth. We were welcomed as we arrived, Bobs diner
was good, staff really nice and friendly, decent food and drinks to start off the
experience. I read someone complaining about cloakroom charges! Really? Most places charge for this don't they and it was £5 for all 3 bags, hardly daylight robbery!
The story of Sam Bell and Elvis was interesting, the 68 comeback special part I really enjoyed and it looked like everyone around me was too! The actors really do put their hearts and souls into this. The after party was great,a DJ and a good band playing and a good bar, not dreadfully expensive either, we would loved to have stayed there another couple of hours but had to get the train home. Elvis music from start to finish, for an Elvis fan what's not to like.
I have to say I probably wouldn't be so happy if I'd purchased VIP tickets, from what we saw that really wasn't worth it at all, you went in first but honestly that made no difference really and you get a "free" drink or 2 and a glass I believe for £300. I bought a glass, it was £20 it's actually really nice and good quality, we had a couple of drinks each too and some food and including tickets we spent less than £300 between us!
We had a great day, go with an open mind, if you go thinking you'll hate you likely will. Hopefully enjoy it for what it is, a celebration of Elvis. If you love Elvis you will love this.

I went with friends to see this at the end of August. It was my first time at an immersive event and being an Elvis fan, this was the perfect choice.
The performances are full of heart. The staging and atmospheric features are fun and the interval in a Tiki bar was such a thoughtful touch.
I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a unique experience celebrating Elvis.

Lovely homage to The King
We had a great time! The train sequence with the immersive effects was amazing and the final show with Elvis's performance was wonderful. Everyone was clapping and cheering and a few people next to us had tears in their eyes!
Thoroughly recommend!!!

Elvis Would Have Been Proud, A Show Every Genuine Fan Will Love.
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.

A journey from rags to riches....
I attended Elvis Evolution yesterday and entered with an open mind. This is a west end style show which follows the journey through Elvis' life. The actors are truly terrific and put every ounce of their energy into the performance. You cannot fault them. The show itself puts a sharp focus on the tensions that existed in the deep south when Elvis was a boy and young man and reveals how he did not conform to conventionality. If you are not interested in or understand the civil rights movement and just want to hear Elvis sing, then this probably is not the right show for you. I myself have been to Tupelo and his haunts in and around Memphis and can relate to each scene. All in all I found it very moving and I applaud everyone who is involved in this production : bar staff, photographers, ushers, security, actors and musicians. Really well done !

Just got home from a brilliant time at Elvis Evolution and can’t believe the negative reviews I’ve just read. I thought it was AMAZING. From the minute I walked in the door until I left, I enjoyed every second. Everything in the show was factually correct with enthusiastic and believable actors- Sam was my fav! I would definitely recommend

@ELVISEVOLUTION is truly magnificent
I've never experienced such a massive chasm between the reviews I've been reading in the press and the reality of the show I went to see. @ELVISEVOLUTION is a truly magnificent effort to introduce a whole new generation to the man who immortalised Rock 'n Roll. Yes, there are a few gremlins in this brand new show. Some of the new staff may not be quite up to speed, but having experienced other Layered Reality events such as 'War of the Worlds' and 'Gunpowder Plot', I know this team will get everything right. The actual show is so interesting with everything tracing back to the real history of Elvis Aaron Presly through his evolution from impoverished country boy through early jobs, emergence as a teen rock star, army service, Hollywood film star to re-emergence as the preeminent Las Vegas showman. To portray all this without reverting to tricks and gimmicks is a major success. Those more interested in seeing cutting edge electronic wizardry should go to the science museums. Give me Elvis Evolution and Rock 'n Roll any day.
