While Elvis was a fan of country music, he was even more inspired by blues, gospel and rhythm-and-blues, including the Memphis radio shows hosted by such local disc jockeys as B.B. King and Rufus Thomas, both of whom also sang live during their broadcasts. Elvis heard this same music played live at the black nightclubs he frequented as a teenager and young adult.


But Elvis is memorable. He is one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. He is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music, with estimated album sales of around 600 million units worldwide. And most of the above-mentioned factors contributed to his success and status as the King of Rock and Roll.

It's now or never! Elvis: A Musical Revolution, receiving a world premiere in Australia later this year, has announced its full cast and creative team. With full authorization from Elvis Presley Enterprises, Elvis: A Musical Revolution is the first Presley biomusical to be licensed by his estate, including access to his vast catalog of hit songs.


Featuring more than 40 Presley songs, the musical will explore the life of Elvis Presley, from his impoverished childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi through his wildly successful 1968 Comeback Special. Elvis: A Musical Revolution will premiere at the Sydney State Theatre in July, before a Melbourne engagement in September.


Elvis: A Musical Revolution will feature a book by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti, as well as orchestrations, arrangements, and additional music and lyrics by Abbinanti. The creative team will feature direction by Alister Smith, choreography by Michael Ralph, music direction by Daniel Puckey, associate direction by Tanya Mitford, costume design by Isaac Lummins, lighting design by Declan O'Neill, set design by Dan Potra, sound design by Greg Ginger, video design by David McKinnon, and associate music direction by Adrian Szondy. Internationally recognized Elvis Presley impersonator Mark Andrew serves as the productions Elvis consultant.


Elvis Presley is an American cultural icon, with more than 149 songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100, including 18 Number 1s, which spent a total of 80 weeks on the top of the charts. He holds the record for record for most Top 40 hits at 114, and is the best selling solo artist of all time. "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog," "That's All Right," "All Shook Up," "Suspicious Minds," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Burning Love," "Blue Suede Shoes," "Good Rockin' Tonight," "Earth Angel," "Don't Be Cruel," "Are You Lonesome," "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "See See Rider," "Can't Help Falling In Love," "A Little Less Conversation," and more have been licensed from Presley's catalog for the biomusical.




Presley-themed musicals are nothing new; the classic Strouse and Adams musical Bye Bye Birdie was based on national reaction to Presley's being drafted into the army (with the character of Conrad Birdie serving as a satirical stand-in for the singer); his music has been adapted into a non-biographical jukebox musical, All Shook Up; and Presley appears as a main character in the historical musical Million Dollar Quartet.


It is notable, however, that this is the first Presley biomusical to be licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises, as well as the first Presley biographical project to be overseen by EPE as led by his granddaughter Riley Keough, following the death of Lisa Marie Presley in 2023, and the removal of Priscilla Presley from the Presley trust.

The title alone marks this one for a classic, and the music follows suit -- a country-flavored rocker with a melancholy Elvis vocal that really works his lower register. It doesn't rock as much as some of Presley's other rockabilly sides, but Scotty Moore's guitar is great, providing accents on the bridge after taking a more "That's All Right" approach under the verses.


Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis was exposed to African-American gospel music and blues there. His parents worked hard to get to Memphis and into the government housing projects that could help them socially and economically. At Lauderdale Courts, Elvis fell in with other upcoming musicians; he could walk to hear the white gospel of the Blackwood Brothers at nearby Ellis Auditorium and the black blues of nearby Beale Street. At home in Memphis, he could also tune in to Dewey Phillips, a genre-bashing disc jockey who revealed the spiritual core in songs and could play Hank Williams after Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Big Joe Turner and Harry James and make it all sound of a piece.


I was born in the Republic of Panama, but lived a few years in Salt Lake City, Utah. Had a lot of friends from Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, Iran, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc.., and we all loved the music and style of the man who revolutionazed music forever. That is Elvis the King of Rock & Roll. Even the indians here in Panama know who Elvis was. Do you know any other entertainer so widely known, even after 35 years of his death?


This is incredible to inducted into a fifth music hall of fame. Rock& Roll, Rockabilly, Country, Gospel and now this. He covered every genre of music and was the worlds greatest singer. Well deserved.


I was already a fan at 13 when elvis died. His music has been there at some of the most important times of my life. When i was feeling down it lifted me up. when i was happy it enhanced my euphoria. But its not just about the music, Elvis was a person i long to be, not as an entertainer but as someone who cares for his fellow man. He really did have a heart of gold, most times he would do things for people in secret. Not like today, a lot of entertainers do things for charity etc. because they are promoting something and need the publicity. Elvis was different. He cared thats why we care about him. Long live the King. TCE!


Presley's version of "Hound Dog" reigned at number one on the chart for a record 11 weeks, and became the highest selling single of his career. Naturally, Stoller says, "the music publishers who controlled Elvis Presley music ... asked if we had anything else that might be good for Elvis. Jerry thought of this kind of blues ballad we had written called 'Love Me.'"


As part of A24's upcoming productions in the next few months, Priscilla will explore the relationship between one of the most famous men in the musical industry if not the most popular one, and the love of his life, mainly focusing on Priscilla Presley's point of view.


While there has never been any necessary or simple correlation between white love of black music and racially progressive politics, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, many black commentators, musicians and fans viewed the emergence of a biracial market for rock-and-roll music performed by black and white singers as a portent of, maybe even a vehicle for, better race relations.


To put this into a broader historical context, this was probably the most integrated popular music market in US recording history: 175 Top Ten rhythm and blues singles were cut by more than 120 different white artists while black artists regularly enjoyed pop chart hits. By November 1963, Billboard could no longer differentiate between white and black consumption and suspended its separate black singles chart.


This era of biracial musical creation and consumption has been largely erased from popular memory. It lies buried beneath simplistic parables of white expropriation and exploitation of black culture in which Elvis has become emblematic of centuries of uncompensated and unacknowledged white appropriation of black cultural ingenuity and labour.


Elvis had a trove of unreleased material before he entered Army service in September 1958, and he even recorded five more songs after completing basic training. He would release 10 Top 40 hit songs while serving. It wasn't the Army that ruined his music career; it was his movies.


The seven years that followed the Pearl Harbor show saw Elvis make a series of increasingly bad, formulaic musical comedy movies. Many featured equally formulaic soundtrack albums. His worst movies include "Stay Away, Joe," where Elvis plays a Navajo man who gets drunk and chases underage girls; "Double Trouble," where he abandons an underage girl in Europe; and "Roustabout," in which Elvis uses karate to beat up an audience.


As terrible as the films were, they were still (mostly) commercial hits, which was why Elvis kept making them. His music also slowly declined over the years. In the first half of the 1960s, he was still one of the top-rated artists. He only had one Top 10 hit between 1965 and 1968, from his award-winning gospel album, unrelated to his films.


His albums began peaking in the 40s on the Billboard 100. After the soundtrack for his 1968 movie "Speedway" topped out at No. 82, everyone knew Elvis' music career was in trouble. He would release one more terrible musical comedy before NBC aired "Singer Presents ... Elvis" in December 1968. It was a huge stage show filmed in Burbank, California, the previous June.


Elvis' performance in what would come to be known as the "'68 Comeback Special" was so electric that it captured almost half of the total viewing audience the night it aired, rebooted his musical stylings and totally revived his musical career. All those bad movies and songs were forgotten.
