This theatrical tribute to Elvis Presley is told through the eyes of 17 women who met and/or influenced 'The King'. Some are enthralled---others appalled but all provide a touching view of 'The King'. The fast paced comedy provides insight into a side of Elvis seldom seen, and helps to portray the man and not the superstar.

The action travels from Tupelo Mississippi--where an 11 year-old Elvis wanted a BB Gun instead of a guitar--to the Steve Allen Show and from President Richard Nixon's office, to Andy Warhol's studio.

This fast paced series of 5 comedic plays and 3 monologues is a touching comedy with a heart that captures what fame, generosity and just being kind can do to others.

Author Luigi Jannuzzi contacted the BLT and provided an additional monologue which portrays a young woman, jilted by her boy friend, who meets Elvis by accident and is invited to join him onstage and to become a part of the performance. The touching monologue has been added to the play.

Matthew Pyle is directing 'All the King's Women', with Bette Swanson serving as producer. Mark Ferrill is stage manager; Daniel Baye is sound designer and technician; Joey Lorincz is lighting designer; Karin Hogston is in charge of costumes. Director Pyle is doing set design and construction.
