Absolutely terrible. Came out feeling very disappointed and underwhelmed. Don’t waste your money on it. Know more about Sam’s life than Elvis. Clearly didn’t have enough budget to get this right.

Very Disappointing and Not Worth £156 I bought VIP tickets for Elvis Evolution (£156 for two tickets) as a Christmas gift for my 79 year old Mum, so we had been looking forward to the experience for a long time (2 years). We travelled from Swansea and South West London and also paid for parking and other travel costs, expecting a high-quality immersive production in line with the way the event is marketed. Unfortunately the experience did not meet those expectations at all. The production felt limited in scale and depth and did not resemble the premium immersive event suggested by the advertising or the VIP price. Rather than a music led experience, it felt more like a walk through theatrical story with projection screens and very little actual performance. Much of it felt uncomfortable and cringeworthy to watch and we ultimately chose to leave halfway through. Looking around the room, several other guests also appeared confused or disengaged by what was happening. The staff we spoke to on the day, including the manager on duty, were kind and understanding, which we appreciated. However, that does not change the fact that the overall experience was very disappointing and did not feel like good value for money. It’s a shame because the concept has potential, but in its current form it simply wasn’t worth the price. I have contacted the organisers directly and hope they will review the situation. We tried ... rude and never use again ...

Awful just unspeakably awful

I’d read the press stories, but Elvis Evolution was worse than expected. To be fair we knew others found it to be disappointing, based on how it was originally billed as a holographic show, but we were hoping for a level of enjoyment as it’s supposed to be immersive. Based around the ‘68 tv special we began with an enthusiastic cast of characters consisting of a tv producer, asst. producer and 3 band members, whose job it was to warm us up, then, after some bizarre figure in black appeared in a mist filled doorway, we moved to a set built as a train carriage, where we sat and watched a condensed synopsis of Elvis life up to 1968 on a big screen with some live interaction. It felt rushed and gimmicky. We then moved to what can only be described as a time wasting holding area (basically a bar supposedly resembling Hawaii but with little atmosphere and overpriced drinks) for 30/40mins, whilst some not very good performers sang a few Elvis songs. We were finally shepherded into the “NBC studio” to “watch” the recording of the ‘68 special, which comprised of 3 musicians on a mock stage playing in front of a big screen showing scenes from the ‘68 special…after that you finished up in another bar with a not very good female performer singing Elvis songs…at that point we made our escape, but straight into the waiting arms of the photo sellers … £25 for 2 prints in a booklet 🫣 In summary, the £7 booking fee per ticket and money grabbing opportunities (bar prices and photos), coupled with disappointing performances, makes it a “one to miss”. The only thing worth the money was the cloakroom, at £2 per coat it was the most cost effective part of the whole experience. My mum, who is of the Elvis generation, described it as “amateurish”. I feel sorry for the performers and staff as they have very little to work with and in some cases, we’re not up to the task. Cringeworthy best describes parts of the experience.

Not even worthy of 1 star! Missold. Misrepresented. Overpriced. Not representative of the legacy of EP. More akin to a school play than a high tech immersive experience. Initially promoted as containing holograms/cutting edge technology/AI & virtual reality - end product failed to deliver any!

If I could give zero stars I would. How people can review this at more than a one star show beggars belief! Felt so sorry for the poor staff who put in valiant efforts in this ridiculous debacle of an Elvis tribute.

What a complete rip off 3 rooms of carnage and a complete joke of an event from Start to finish not a sign of Elvis the whole evening ( only random Videos on a screen ) and even that was out of focus Anything shown you can watch free on you tube in terms of any so called actors if you imagine Tony Angeleno from only fool and horses he is leagues above this shower of crap , how can you call this an Elvis event with no sign of an Elvis impersonator or hologram of Elvis of any kind , right at the end in the last room on the stage when everyone looked like they lost the will to live when it’s all blacked out and loads of smoke a midget appears on stage for all of thirty seconds in all the black leathers from the comeback tour he don’t say a word turns around and walks off stage WTF , I’m guessing maybe that was meant to be Elvis as a child who knows but he was 4 foot 2 at best and said nothing !! So again WTF if this event was free I would have felt robbed of 2 hours of our lives , how can you have the front to charge over £200 for 2 tickets !!! Will be demanding a refund , We drove an hour there amd an hour back home and felt robbed let alone the poor people that came from hull to watch a bunch of extras from phoenix nights , this event should be shut down and the public refunded there hard earned money !!!! AVOID THIS EVENT AT ALL COSTS PLEASE
