Elvis impersonator thrills all audiences

Elvis will soon be in the building - Founders Theatre, that is.

He was among the most important figures of 20th century pop culture. A cultural icon, referred to as the King of Rock and Roll, or simply The King.

Now the memory and legend lives on in a special concert, The Orchestral Sessions.

It features a 15-piece orchestra, starring one of the first and most-successful Elvis impersonator Max Pellicano, whose uncanny resemblance and equally chilling performances have mesmerised New Zealanders during the past two decades.

Elvis To The Max stars Max Pellicano and is touring New Zealand next month with the first performance in Auckland. The show hits Hamilton on October 12.

Worldwide media have said Max Pellicano's tribute goes beyond mere impersonation. Critics have described his performances as Elvis resurrected and reincarnated. His recreation of The King's looks, moves, vocal style, impressions and humour is extremely accurate.

Max Pellicano has worked hard to sound like the real thing. Not only is the voice important, it's also knowing how to become the man himself on stage.

There are lots of Elvis impersonators but Max Pellicano is considered the best. In addition, the costumes worn by Max Pellicano are exact replicas made by Elvis' tailor Bill Bellow.
