It’s Elvis!

It was quite a pleasant night at Kings Point Theater, where Chris McDonald backed by a live band, performed at Memories of Elvis.

According to his profile, despite the myriad of would-be performers who hope to breakout by mimicking the late great pop star Elvis Presley, “Chris MacDonald has the ultimate honor of being the "Only Tribute Artist hired by Elvis Presley Enterprises to perform at Graceland's Heartbreak Hotel."

And I can see why, for he has quite a good voice and was impressive as he sung a series of Elvis popular hits from Christmas carols, to songs from Blue Hawaii.

But he did not stick only to Elvis as he also performed popular songs from Chuck Berry, Neil Diamond and got standing ovation for “My Way” by Frank Sinatra.

It was amusing though how he first came on stage with an Elvis-like guitar and pretended to play, but he only did it once, giving us the impression, it was just a prop.

He also tried hard to capture Elvis’ moves and clothes, notably tight-fitting pants.πŸ˜›

Kings Point is a Senior Community in Tamarac, Florida and they have quite an impressive theatre where there are regular live shows.

The senior ladies ate up the McDonald’s performance as he came offstage and wooed them leis, scarves, pecks on the cheeks and joined all who wanted in selfies.

Sonja, Rosa and I had attended on Saturday night to celebrate a pre-birthday with Rosa who would be marking the big day on Sunday.

It was our first time to the Kings Pont Theater and from the impressive schedule of shows that they have published for 2023, we will most likely be going there again soon.

Good choice by Sonja.
