From Tupelo Mississippi where 12 year old Elvis wanted a BB Gun instead of a guitar,
to The Steve Allen Show,
from President Richard Nixon‘s office
to Andy Warhol’s studio,
from Cadillac Salesmen
to Graceland guards,
this is a touching, bring the family,
comedy with a heart,
that captures the effects that fame, generosity & just being a nice guy can bring to others!

"Perfect Monologues" Outer Critics Circle
*
"Jannuzzi has a good ear for the periods and for his chracters allowing his actors to show range. The point is perhaps not so much about Elvis per se, but instead these scenes reveal snapshots of an American culture, peoplel, and place." NYTtheatre.com
*
"His plays unfold in such an intimate and genuine way. He writes about Elvis Presley fans with educated and unconventional twists." RobertaontheArts.com
*
"In a nearly chronological order, the stand-alone scenes take place between the 1940's and the present day. Each scene is listed in the program with a date and location, driving home the pint that these characters and situations are best understood within the context of their period." NYTheatre.com
