PLAZA THEATRE DANCES TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK WITH ELVIS BASH

Elvis impersonators and a rare screening of Jailhouse Rock celebrate the King's birthday at the Historic Plaza Theatre.

Are your hands shaking, your knees weak? Can't seem to stand on your own two feet? The Historic Plaza Theatre has the cure for what ails you with a special ELVIS BASH on January 12th to commemorate what would've been Elvis Presley's 72nd birthday.

ELVIS BASH begins with a special Iron Elvis competition when five Elvis Presley tribute artists take the stage to see who will be crowned king. As the Elvises sing the timeless classics live on stage, vote on who has the best studded jumpsuit, lip curl and hip swivel. Performers include award-winning Elvis tribute artist Dana Daniels.

Audience members who know their Elvis trivia may walk away with prizes, too. And don't miss the girls, girls, girls of Blast Off Burlesque as they dance to Elvis' greatest hits.

A rare screening of one of Elvis' most critically acclaimed films Jailhouse Rock follows. The 1957 flick tells the story of Vince Everett (Presley), an ex con with rock 'n' roll in his soul. After getting out of the big house, he becomes a singing sensation. But will success spoil Vince? See Elvis himself on the big screen belting out songs like : "You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care," "Don't Leave Me Now" and "Jailhouse Rock."

Stuff an Elvis fan's stocking this Christmas with a pair of ELVIS BASH tickets. The show takes places Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 8:00pm . All seats are $12.
