Ipswich City Council Customer Service Centre, I43 Brisbane Street, |
When Mark Caliguri and Joanne Evangelia portray these three prodigies of the legendary Sun Records recording sessions, it's a recipe of dynamic showmanship for the audience from these 2 seasoned performers. Mark is striking in resemblance to Johnny Cash, on which the first part of the show is based. Joanne has uncanny resemblance both vocally and visually to Monroe. The set is 15 minutes of Monroe's greats. In the third set, Mark is also in his own league as Elvis. With his striking good looks and Vegas costuming (which are made by the same designers that created the suit originally for Elvis) Mark sings all the classics in an unforgettable tribute performance to the King. All Tickets $15.50. Ticket includes Devonshire Tea after the Show.
