I came from Canada to see your show that I have heard so much about. I was surprised to see that the Elvis in your show was not as good as one that I have seen in Canada. His name is Shawn Barry and I was wondering if the folks who put this show together have ever heard of him. I thought you might be interested in checking him out as I thought he could really add to your show. All in all I was not totally unhappy with the show I just was spoiled by Shawn.

Whew.. I just got in from a whirlwind 6 days of Branson. We ended our last night with Elvis and the Superstars at the Owens theater- Downtown...what a quaint historical and yes hysterical evening and theater.

We stumbled upon this entertainment by luck, winning tickets to see Mark Twain, that in itself was amazing and I would suggest everyone to go see this interesting and humorous piece of entertainment, upon conclusion we
discovered the same actor was also "Elvis" We just had to get tickets and attend.

I have been to many shows in Chicago and Vegas, this was up front and personal. His troop was amazing and the Drummer was his 12 year young grandson who chatted with me and said his Grandpa helped him learn since he was 6 years old.

Susan as Patsy, Summer and a beautiful young lady from Nashville that belts out Tina Turner. All I could think of was American Idol had nothing on these entertainers and most of all they put you at ease with their smiles and warmth of just enjoying being able to entertain the audience. Dave is awesome! From Mark Twain to Neil Diamond, Dean Martin, Sonny Bono with Summer as Cher she has her pucker down pat.

We were scarfed by "Elvis" -sigh- and listened to Susan's CD all the way home. Making Memories is what it is all about...and these memories will be with us till our next trip and you will find us right there at the Owens enjoying our new found friends talents.

Go see this man and his group of loving, warm and entertaining troop...SS

This was by far the BEST show among the 14+ shows we saw in Branson! Although it was a low budget production the talent of Dave Ehlert was the most outstanding of any and all the performers, even the big name stars we saw!

Not only is he the BEST ELVIS we have ever seen, including Las Vegas impersonators; he was great doing impersonations of many other stars. He said he had been doing Elvis for 38 years so needless to say this show was our very all-time favorite.

I would tell everyone, if the really love Elvis, this is THE show to see. Not only will you not be disappointed, but you see what a truly marvelous talent this man is. It was an incredible show!

Wow! Who's been keeping this guy a secret! Dave Ehlert is the BEST Elvis we've ever seen! We have seen them all. His voice is the closest to Elvis. He performs a great tribute to the King. We thought it was very touching to see his grandson (yes grandson!) on the drums. This was indeed a family show in every way!

I think the best thing about the show is that Dave doesn't take himself too seriously. We've seen so many "Elvises" who try to "be" Elvis rather than perform a great tribute like Dave's. I guess since he's been doing it for over 30 + years, it's pretty natural to portray the King without being so contrived. And, what energy! I found myself out of breath from the dancing, gyrating, singing to the lightning fast costume changes throughout the show.

The gals in our group all got the famous "Elvis scarves" and we were just thrilled. When he locks those crystal blue eyes on you, you really do "believe"! And this is all just the first half! In the second part of the show we were treated to Dave's dead on portrayals of "Dean Martin", "Sonny & Cher" (Dave was only Sonny, his co-star Summer Savage played Cher), Roy Orbison along with a hilarious rendition of "Tom Jones" and even "Liberace". My husband couldn't believe that Dave was such a great singer and a great comedian! All in all, this was a great show! We will be back!
