Love Me Tender

Love Me Tender

The new musical featuring the music of Elvis Presley. Read more …

From the producers of HairsprayMidnight Tango and West Side Story and comes a hilarious feel-good musical featuring Elvis Presley’s greatest hits and starring the award winning and platinum album selling singer Mica Paris. The high-octane cast also includes: Shaun Williamson (Eastenders, Extras), Ben Lewis (Love Never Dies Australia) and Sian Reeves (Emmerdale, Cutting It).

In a small town in 1950s America, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling stranger rides his motorbike into town. Is he The Devil in Disguise or a Hound Dog in his Blue Suede Shoes? The townsfolk are about to be All Shook Up and could be headed for Heartbreak Hotel, but for Natalie, the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is Now or Never.

Packed with 25 of the best loved songs by The King himself, Love Me Tender, by the writer of the award-wining West End and Broadway smash hit Memphis, is a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities of Rock 'n' Roll.

The critical consensus

Shakespeare it isn’t but it is hugely entertaining, silly, escapist fun. If it’s a good-natured pick-me-up you’re looking for then look no further.

As jukebox musicals go Love Me Tender has one main advantage: the songs of Elvis Presley; and one major disadvantage: the songs of Elvis Presley.

****(*)Ken Wilson, TVBomb, 21/07/2015

This might be one for fans of the King, but fans of a great night out will be as equally impressed with a show that delivers big voices, big songs and really tight direction from director and choreographer Karen Bruce.

****(*)Thom Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre, 23/07/2015

Good clean fun with a great big heart, a fabulous cast and brilliant songs – utterly irresistible.

****(*)Lauren Humphreys, The Public Reviews, 03/08/2015

Love Me Tender is a great night out, whether you’re an Elvis fan or not. At least it’s not just here for One Night – it’s on til Saturday so get your Blue Suede Shoes on and head to the King’s, it’ll leave you All Shook Up!
