With more than a little help from Peggy Van Aulden, a rising young record producer, Vince's road to stardom is filled with passion and conflict as Vince feels the pressure that money and fame can bring. Prison inmates, shifty record producers, Hollywood starlets, crafty lawyers and a variety of other characters fill the stage as we follow Vince's story from penniless convict to rich and famous rock 'n' roll star. The cast plays and perform all the songs live on-stage in a vibrant and energetic production which appeals to everyone, with plenty of classic hits to satisfy the die-hard Elvis fans!
