The prequel to the popular <em>Million Dollar Baby<\/em> musical begins the saga of Elvis Presley from his birth in Tupelo, Mississippi, to his truck-driving days in Memphis to the skyrocketing of his stellar career that changed the face of rock n\u2019 roll forever.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, Elvis and Sun recording studio-owner Sam Phillips created the rock-a-billy music that changed their lives. But it\u2019s \u201cColonel\u201d Tom Parker who makes history and takes Elvis to the top, all in just 18 short months. But the show also highlights the destructive impact of racism and\u00a0the rise of civil rights as depicted with horrific images on the stage screen.<\/p>\n<p>This cultural musical is filled with hits from a cast of over-the-top performers who bring heated energy and excitement to every song.

But it\u2019s talented performers like Geno Henderson and Zack Lentino who play musical giants that make the show sizzle.
