A NEW musical inspired by and featuring the music of Elvis Presley is coming to the Grand Opera House in York.

Love me Tender stars Mica Paris as Sylvia, Sian Reeves as Mayor Matilda Hyde, Shaun Williamson as Jim and Ben Lewis as Chad.

From the producers of Hairspray, Jersey Boys and West Side Story, Love me Tender is an hilarious feel-good musical featuring Elvis Presley’s greatest hits.

In a small town in 1950s America, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling stranger rides his motorbike into town.

Is he The Devil in Disguise or a Hound Dog in his Blue Suede Shoes?

The townsfolk are about to be All Shook Up and could be headed for Heartbreak Hotel, but for Natalie, the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is Now or Never.

Packed with 25 of the best-loved songs by the King himself, Love me Tender by Joe DiPietro, the writer of the award-wining West End and Broadway smash hit Memphis, is a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities of rock 'n’ roll.

Love me Tender is at the Grand Opera House, in York, from Monday, August 17 to Saturday, August 22.
