On March 8, 2007 “The Elvis Experience, Tony Roi” will open for a new season. All of his old fans are counting the days. For some it has only been a week or two since seeing him perform, they were the lucky ones that were able to follow him where he was performing concerts. For some of us it has been several months. Those months seem to be years instead.
For those that may not have had the privilege of The Tony Roi’s Elvis Experience you have no idea of what you have been missing. Tony has kept the music of our beloved Elvis alive in such a phenomenal way.
Your first visit to The Music City Centre Theater will cause you to have many reactions. Your first look at Tony as he comes on stage will absolutely take your breath away. He has the same presence and expressions as Elvis that you feel that you have stepped back in time. Then you hear his amazing voice. It is the sweetest, gentlest, but most powerful voice and he is absolutely in control.
Tony sings all the favored Elvis tunes and he is so much like him that it is hard to tell the difference. That man absolutely has fun up on stage and performing. I cannot sit still and it’s impossible to keep quite. You will be dancing in your seat. Tony does tell us that there are NO seatbelts and in his house we can do what ever we want. I have often thought that may be a dangerous statement.
Tony has costume changes two or three times during his concerts. He wears the jumpsuits, much like the ones Elvis wore. When he changes into the all black leather suit the heat has defiantly been turned up. One word… WOW! I will admit, Tony looks very nice in all of his changes.
We mature fans may act a little silly at times. It is really Tony’s fault; he makes us feel young again. Tony always makes you feel as though you are part of the family.
Tony does have a very beautiful family. His lovely wife Melanie is always kind and friendly to all the fans. Tony’s daughter and son are just as friendly and sweet. You feel blessed by meeting Tony and his family.
Tony also sings his own music, some he has written. He does a beautiful job on all music. He is so gifted and loves sharing his talents with all of his fans, older ones and new ones, young in age and young in heart. He is admired by men as well as women. He is a “Super Star” and we are very lucky to have him in a place like Branson. I have always loved going to Branson because of the professional talent and the clean material founding all of the theaters. Tony has gone to the top of my list for good, clean entertainment and the number one reason why I want to visit every chance I get.
Branson is a wonderful place to visit and take your family. Your visit will be blessed if you have Tony at the top of your list. As I said, you will love the experience at being with Tony. You can’t help but leave with a smile and maybe a tear or two. You diffidently will have mixed emotions. It is truly nice to be given a second chance of having Elvis back through Tony.
Plan your trip soon and make sure your first stop is Music Centre Theater. You will miss the best experience of your life if you don’t make it to see Tony during his 2007 season.
