Well needless to say we are getting close. Its funny how when I talk to people and when you tell them them your doing almost a different show every week they look at you and think your crazy. I guess I am in a way but I also know fans wouldn't expect anything else. Seventy songs? Dancers who are learning about 20 different numbers? Commitment to excellence. These are the people who I would go to bat for.
Working with the talent I have who never ask questions and are genuinely excited sparks me to do and be the best I can be. Rather than giving it away I will tell you that the first two weeks will be an adaptation of the 1968 special. The third week will be Elvis at the movies which will be very special for our military people who will be able to come for free on the 20th. The fourth week will be Elvis in Vegas and we round it up on the fifth week with more of Elvis in the movies.
Renowned tap artist and great friend Tish Morris Kelley will be working with me on choreography so we have lots of suprises.
Sunday's show will be the only show that will stay the same which will be music dancing and of course me. This show will rock I guarantee you!
I am pulling all the stops to bring back the energy and electricity each of you expect with any of my shows. I am very excited and of course nervous so please make your reservations.
With all of this we need your help. Volunteers are always good. If you would like to volunteer your time with box office, concessions , please call me we would love to have you.
I also want to reach out to my fans as well. As you know we are not a non profit organization and the quality of our shows comes with expenses . We are not funded by the city and what we make as far as payroll is what the box office produces. With that in mind we are looking for any amount of donations that will not only keep our projects going but also keep us in the loop of perhaps having our own theatre where we don't have to worry about paying the rental for these venues.
Unfortunately we are not under any umbrella and other theatres thrive because of their subscriber base and private sectors who donate to the theatre. Our expenses come from theatre rentals hiring the best musicians and talent. Your generousity is very important to us and by donating what you can you are giving us the thumbs us to keep the quality of our shows second to none. I would like you to keep that in mind. We have special perks for our fans who want to become regular subscribers and special events for you.
We realize that with this economy its always difficult, yet my mission is to give the best quality entertainment which is something we all need , no matter what the cost. It gets us out of whatever rut we are in. If I can give you two hours of fun and enjoyment than our job has been forfilled. So keep those reservations coming and lets make this a show where we sell out each night (wouldnt it be nice).
Opening night is less than a month away its also the most special night where the creation has life. But remember each week will be another opening night. Spooky but fun and everyone is getting ready. Are you?
