The part of Leading Lady, Ann Margret is played by Lori Russo. "The first song that was performed was "That's All Right," an early Elvis favorite. From then on there was no stopping Elvis-all four of them-nor the excited audience that was on its feet for most of the time" (Rosemont Journal)

"The partnership between On Stage Touring and Elvis Presley Enterprises provides the only authentic touring showcase of Elvis tribute artists for fans who want to experience the music and live performance charisma of one of the most popular recording artists in history," said Brian Brigner, Chief Operating Officer of On Stage. "Our thriving production showcases each performer portraying Elvis in one of four eras: the 1950s, 1960s, his movie career and his concert years, so it is the complete musical package."
