LOVE ME TENDER tour cast announced!

The full cast for the UK and Ireland tour of “LOVE ME TENDER” - the new musical inspired by and featuring the music of Elvis Presley has been announced.  The tour comes to the Edinburgh Playhouse from 20th - 25th July and the King's Theatre in Glasgow from 3rd - 8th August.

From the producers of Hairspray, Jersey Boys and West Side Story “LOVE ME TENDER” is a hilarious feel-good musical featuring Elvis Presley’s greatest hits. In a small town in 1950s America, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling stranger rides his motorbike into town. Is he The Devil in Disguise or a Hound Dog in his Blue Suede Shoes? The townsfolk are about to be All Shook Up and could be headed for Heartbreak Hotel, but for Natalie, the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is Now or Never.

Packed with 25 of the best loved songs by The King himself, “LOVE ME TENDER”, by the writer of the award-wining West End and Broadway smash hit Memphis, is a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities of Rock 'n' Roll.
