Elvis, Elvis, Elvis - impersonators..

Elvis, Elvis, Elvis has been performing world-wide since its inception in 1979 and now the show is back in British Columbia.

"Elvis Presley last performed in Canada on Aug. 31, 1957 at Empire Stadium in Vancouver. But he’ll rise from the dead three times at the Abby Arts Centre. The resurrections will come in the form of three of the best Elvis impersonators on the planet. Justin Shandor, Danny Vernon and Greg Miller each play a different era of the King’s career in the internationally acclaimed tribute show Elvis, Elvis, Elvis."

Sounds great.
