Elvis Evolution
Theatre, Immersive, Experiential
Co-Writer and Director / CD of this new entertainment experience - merging theatre, immersive storytelling and live music. The show tells the story of Elvis's origins and his musical roots, through the lens of his childhood friend Sam Bell. I developed and concepted the show working with the IP holders, and led the creative team over 18 months directing the film and digital content across the US & London, along with the live performance and theatre elements.
The aim was to deconstruct the myth of Elvis, for a new generation. We utilised previously unreleased interviews with Sam Bell - Elvis's childhood friend - who shared his personal recollections of Elvis's early musical experiences and their friendship in the Black neighbourhood of Tupelo where they grew up.
