Relive the King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s breakout year with “Elvis ’56.”

Sixty years ago, a performer named Elvis Presley began to take the entertainment world by storm. In January of 1956, he was a regional sensation. By the end of the year, he was an international phenomenon with four No. 1 songs on Billboard’s Top 100 chart, 11 television appearances, a movie deal and a record deal — something that no individual artist had ever accomplished before in one year.

In “Elvis ’56,” world-renowned Elvis performer Cody Ray Slaughter recreates the rock ’n’ roll star’s electrifying performances from that year. Slaughter creates the illusion of Elvis as a vibrant, young entertainer who is beginning to make history.

The performance also features Hillbilly Katz with David Fontana, son of Elvis’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer DJ Fontana, and an upright bass player and rockabilly guitarist.

VIP ticketholders can meet the artists at a Meet and Greet from 4:30-6 p.m. Light snacks will be provided, and photo ops, along with a Q & A, with the cast will be available.
