Going back to where it all began for The King
Growing up in Memphis, Elvis Aaron Presley
discovered the introspective and fiercely visceral nature of
gospel
music through church, often attending all-night gospel
sings. It instinctively influenced the unique style he later
became famous for.
The
Gospel According to Elvis is the rarely told story of
those early years; before Priscilla and Graceland. Before the
jumpsuits, the films and the slick bouffant 'do. Before Elvis
was The King of Rock and Roll, he was just a kid singing the
songs synonymous with his heartland.
A must-see for
any theatre or music lover, The Gospel According to Elvis
plays Gardens
Theatre on 28 and 29 April. Tickets can be purchased online
or through GardensTix on (07) 3138 4455.

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll
Opens 30 April
Bookings 07 3007 8600
This legendary play depicts the fortunes of cane
cutters Barney and Roo, who travel south every year to
spend their layoff in the house of Roo's girlfriend,
Olive. Year after year they bring with them a kewpie
doll as a symbol of their long-standing ‘arrangement’.
But this year, time and circumstance have
conspired to change things forever and no one, not even
the youthful and naïve Bubba from next door, will emerge
unscathed from the summer of the seventeenth doll.
