Elvis to the Max (USA)
He was one of the most important figures of 20th century pop culture. An icon, widely known by a single name – Elvis, often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll”
Now the memory and legend lives on in a very special concert event starring one of the world’s first and most-successful Elvis impersonator Max Pellicano, whose uncanny resemblance and equally chilling performance has mesmerised Australians over the last two decades.
It has been said by media worldwide that Max Pellicano’s tribute Elvis To The Max goes beyond mere impersonation. Critics have described his performances as Elvis ‘resurrected’ and ‘reincarnated’. His recreation of the King’s looks, moves, vocal style, impressions and humour is so accurate, its awe-inspiring. You need to sound like the real thing and Max Pellicano has worked hard at that. Not only is the voice important, it’s also knowing how to become the man himself on stage.
There are lots of Elvis impersonators around, but Max Pellicano is still considered as the best. In addition, the costumes worn by Max Pellicano are exact replicas made by Elvis’ personal tailor Bill Bellow.

A really great performance, transports you back in time to live the era of Elvis. Max Pellicano does a great job in reviving Elvis. Highly recommended.
Great show worth driving to Nunnawaing for
Last night I HEARD and SAW the King!!! Max Pellicano energetically delivered a slick and captivating rendition of Elvis' musical history. His brilliant performance was not just an impersonation or interpretation of Elvis - HE WAS ELVIS!
Every single note, deep tonal sound, gesture, body gyration and audience talk emulated Elvis. We, the audience, were engaged and transfixed. His authentic rendition of Elvis' popular songs were ecstatically received. He had us wrapped and rapped throughout. We heard rock & roll, ballads, gospel and blues. Max Pellicano looked, dressed and sounded like Elvis, right down to his open-necked, white, jewelled, leather outfit.
'Love Me Tender,' 'In The Ghetto,' 'Fever,' 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You,' and 'Suspicious Mind' were just a few of the songs that he & his brilliant band & backing singers, took us to memory lane. 'My Way' was definitely 'The Wonder of You' or should I say 'The Sensation of You Max Pellicano!'
A great night!
