Joseph Hall's Elvis


Yesterday, Janene and I attended Joseph Hall's “Elvis Rock “N” Remember Tribute Show.” This high-energy tribute show to Elvis is performed at The Americana Theatre located at 209 W. Highway 76 in Branson, Mo 65616. Phone number 417-339-0099.

To be frank, I am not a great fan of tribute shows. However, this show was fast-paced, accurate, and high-energy. Having lived during the Elvis age I can recall hearing discussions about: “Do you think he will make it?” Well, he did . The voices and the moves are all Elvis. So is some of the raw animal magnetism and you can sense it in the fans. Underlying it all is that sense being a gentleman and that sense of humor that Elvis so often displayed.

Joseph Hall was born in Abilene in 1984. He has been playing Elvis for a number of years and was was of the top 10 finalists in “America's Got Talent.” Also he has won a number of awards among groups that are made up of Elvis impersonators. He has a good back up band and two back-up singers who add much to the show.

To my surprise, the show was much better than I expected. I would highly recommend it. You will love it as “Elvis” throws teddy bears out to the audience, and hands out sweat-laden scarves to the ladies. You will love the moves and the karate kicks (keep in mind that Elvis had a black belt in karate.) Enjoy this show and experience some of magic and excitement of Elvis on the stage. I am delighted that we went to this one and would go again.

As many of you know my blog is as much a photo blog as it is an information blog. See the pictures below. Also you can get more information on this show at JosephHallBransonElvis.com.
