Musical tribute to Elvis Presley with singer Mario Kombou, 50 classic hits and 12 costume changes at the Dominion Theatre.
The Elvis Years comes to the Dominion Theatre on Sunday 20 December, with Mario Kombou taking the stage as Elvis Presley. It's a long-running show that's been around for over 20 years, and it's built on a simple premise: taking you through every era of Presley's journey to stardom, from his early rock 'n' roll breakthrough in Tupelo, Mississippi, right through to the legendary Las Vegas years. Kombou was the original star of the West End musical Jailhouse Rock, and he teams up here with producer and Ivor Novello award winner David Mackay, who handles the musical direction.
It's a big night in terms of scale. The show runs over two hours and works its way through more than 50 classic hits, with That's Alright Mama, Heartbreak Hotel, Suspicious Minds and If I Can Dream among them. It's not just the music, either: the set is backed by nostalgic videos, a full band, and no fewer than 12 costume changes across the evening. The whole thing is designed to cover the different stages of Presley's career, so you'll hear the early rock 'n' roll alongside the later Vegas material.

On the practical side, it starts at 7.30pm at the Dominion Theatre on Tottenham Court Road, and tickets start from £22.25. A couple of things to keep in mind if you're bringing the family: children under 5 can't be admitted, and anyone 15 or under needs to be accompanied by an adult.
