Las Vegas legend Nathan Belt returns to the world stage in the inaugural production of Elvis – The Show. He will be on the stage of The Mandela at Joburg Theatre for from January 16 until Febraury 2 2014.
From the music that rocked the 50’s, the movie songs that charmed us in the 60’s, the electrifying 68 Comeback Special performance and the thrills of the Las Vegas years, Elvis – The Show has it all. And it’s with true talent, reverence and respect that Nathan Belt delivers this stunning musical biography.
Crowned as ‘The King of Kings’ and named ‘one of the world’s best’ by Elvis Presley Enterprises, Belt delivers the look, the moves, the charm and most of all the voice. Every song is performed live by this multi-instrumentalist and his full band and every authentic wink, smirk and hip-swivel will take you back to the glory days of The King.
In 2010 world-renowned producers Showtime Productions (Michael Jackson HIStory starring Kenny Wizz, The ABBA Show starring ABBAsolutely fABBAulous) sought to recreate the essence and phenomenon of Elvis live in concert, on a world scale. After embarking on a world search to find a performer to take on the incredible new production, Showtime soon found Nathan Belt, a performer who transcended tribute and entered reality.
For years Nathan Belt has toured the USA creating a reputation as the best and bringing back the legend of Elvis to thousands of fans. Nathan discovered Elvis at an early age and says:
“The first time I remember recognizing an interest in music was when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I had found an Elvis Presley 45 of my Dad’s that had ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ on the A-side and ‘I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You)’ on the B-side, and I listened to it over and over again on my Fisher-Price record player! I pretended to play guitar and danced like Elvis, not even knowing who he was or how he performed.“
Since the founding of his Elvis obsession in his youth, Nathan has gone on to achieve some of the highest honours within the ‘Elvis’ realm including headlining the EP Expo produced by Presley Productions and becoming a Top 10 finalist in the Ultimate Elvis finals in Memphis.
