A school trip to the 'Elvis' Musical
I was a teacher in Coventry and on four occasions we travelled down
to London to watch the Elvis musical in the late 70s.
It was always a long trip in the school minibus with 13 young people
but the show was tremendous. I particularly remember the changeover
from the Elvis era to the Beatles. And of course American Trilogy
as performed by Bogdan. I thought Fumble did so well on both items.
I remember them clambering through the audience during the show. I
think one of them had little hair.
I saw the show in Birmingham about 5 years later with someone called
Mark (Eager?) or something like it, perhaps it was Vince but it never
had the quality of the London production.
I wish you well- Rock on Elvis
