We had a super fantastic time watching this Elvis show. His voice sounded just like Elvis and the customs looked very close to the original ones that Elvis wore. I took my 84 year old mama and she said he looked and sounded just like Elvis. We already are looking forward to returning to Branso so we can go back to this show with the gkids who also loves Elvis.

This was a great show from start to finish. It took you on a journey through the singing and movie career of Elvis. So many songs and at one point took requests from the audience and sang every one of them that was requested. The musicians and backup singers were amazing. And Elvis, WOW! What a performer! I felt like I took a trip back in time and saw Elvis himself. Don’t miss this show at the Majestic theater.

Matthew Boyce does an amazing Elvis Impersonation called A Tribute to the King in the intimate Majestic Theatre, which only seats 100 patrons. Matthew has all of the classic Elvis gyrations, Elvis's mannerisms, and a great voice. He really sounds like Elvis. The 3 ladies who dance and sing backup are fantastic. The 2 guitarists and the drummer are also top-notch. There are so many costume changes. There are video clips of the real Elvis, great special lighting and video effects throughout the show. Matthew covers Elvis' entire career. Matthew and the 3 musicians sat down at the edge of the stage and took requests from the audience. He interacts with the audience throughout the show. There is a Meet and Greet after the show. The show lasted over 2 hours. The first row of seats is nearly level with the stage, and the performers are only 6-10 feet away, so the entire experience is very intimate! Don't miss this amazing tribute to Elvis. We were not on a tour. His show was recommended to us by the lady at Branson 2-for-1 Tickets.
