Based on the beloved book and movie, this musical will show audiences of all ages that everyone has the power to change their story.

ELVIS, MY WAY
STARRING BRANDON BENNETT

August 25 – August 28, 2022 | Mt. Gretna Playhouse

 

The electrifying Brandon Bennett (Million Dollar Quartet) does the impossible, delivering a spine-tingling Elvis tribute that is fresh, powerful, and right on time. With his authentic southern charm, glorious voice, and powerful moves Bennett was named “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises at Graceland. His breathtaking retrospective traverses the King's career: the Rock n’ Roll nativity of the 50s, the iconic comeback of the 60s, and the legendary lounge acts of the 70s. Hits include “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” “Suspicious Minds,” and many more.
