Christmas With Elvis
Comedy/Drama, Holiday, Music
Runs Nov 24, 2023 - Jan 07, 2024
Christmas With Elvis is a laugh out loud comedy that begins when a newly divorced woman discovers, on Christmas Eve, that her ex-husband is getting remarried to someone she met in treatment. Before she can drown her misery and self-righteous delusions in chardonnay, the very dead and not too debauched ghost of Elvis Presley appears in her apartment. And the lonely and baffled King of Rock and Roll doesn't like this visitation any better than she does. It is a wonderful death, indeed.
