Casey is an Elvis impersonator struggling to make a living in a Panama City Beach dive bar. He’s young, broke, behind on rent, and now his wife is pregnant. To make matters worse, Casey gets fired, losing his gig to a second-rate drag show. Before “the King” leaves the building, however, a twist of fate and a makeover by some fabulous new friends provide Casey a second chance to make it in showbiz. It’s a wildly entertaining story about friendship, acceptance, and finding a family in the unlikeliest of places. The production features a soundtrack of pop and country songs and is filled with snappy zingers and dance-worthy numbers.
A big-hearted & music-filled comedy! “Stitch-in-your-side funny! Full of sass and good spirits!”-NY Times
