“Sheer brilliance.” The SunThe story goes that Ivor Potter was singing in California when Cher told him he sounded remarkably like Elvis Presley. He took the hint, and Suspiciously Elvis was born in 2000. More than 25 years later, the show has toured internationally, enjoyed a residency at London's Hippodrome Casino and become a firm favourite at Boisdale.
Potter takes us back to Elvis's Las Vegas years, beginning with his triumphant 1969 return to live performance at the International Hotel. It was an extraordinary period, with Elvis drawing on rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, gospel and country, backed by a formidable band. Ivor and his musicians have spent years perfecting those arrangements, along with the famous jumpsuits, stage banter and wonderfully extravagant Vegas showmanship.
For this Christmas Special, expect "Blue Christmas", "Suspicious Minds", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Viva Las Vegas", "Jailhouse Rock" and "Blue Suede Shoes". Ivor has a terrific sense of humour, frequently sending himself up and involving the audience in the fun. The band is excellent, the songs are magnificent and Boisdale's Canary Wharf dining room is a splendid place to enjoy Elvis in his Vegas prime.
