Viva Elvis by Cirque Du Soleil in Las Vegas - Jack & Anne Laing Ryder - June, 2010
(Photograph provided by Anne.)

The Viva Elvis show was beyond spectacular. The talent was like watching the summer Olympics and Dancing with the Stars - the finals. The choreography was incredible and, of course, all the music was actually songs done by Elvis himself - his videos and his voice. There were no imitators. They had an 10-piece band/orchestra that played along. There was a saxophone player who was marvelous. But we know the drummers were amazingly talented. There were two drummers with full percussions. The sounds went right through the members in the audience. There was a 10 minute standing ovation at the end of the show.
