Just about the time you'd think that nothing under the sun could make Elvis Presley seem new and exciting, along comes "Idols of the King". ...

But Edwards and Crowe seem to have genuine fondness for these folks they've created - no matter how outlandish the characters might get, there's not a bit of mean-spirited mockery anywhere. ... the characters are hilarious ... there are the moments that could bring tears to your eyes ... alternately hilarious and heartbreaking. ...

... solid tribute to Elvis Presley ... ingenious musical ...
Irene Backalenick, Connecticut Post

--"Idols pleasures with Elvis Songs..."

... a very smart and profound riff on the Presley phenomenon and what that meant to America ... the effect is both dazzling for what we once had and sad for what we lost ... sends the audience into ecstasy ... people sway, people swoon, people raise their hands in the air ... the nostalgia is infectious ... What Elvis had, as one line goes, was poetry combined with sexiness. Plus a sweetness for all the pumping, pumping, pumping. His passion was a beacon that cut across class, gender and geographical lines and the Cabaret production mirrors this.
David A. Rosenberg

--"An Elvis for Everyone"

... Idols of the King taps into something very essential and primal about Elvis - that outrageous combination of "poetry and sex", irrepressible energy and urgency, mixed with an off-handed, unaffected sweetness ... Idols of the King does provide an evening of solid entertainment and some surprising insight into the Elvis phenomenon ...
Gary Carlson, Fairfield County Weekly

--"This Show Rocks"

... made up of Quirky, funny, tragic, dedicated fans. ... Good theater entertains, teaches & triggers emotional response and Idols does all three. ... Hearing Elvis tunes performed is a treat, but that's available in Vegas. Emotional inspiration isn't so available and this show does it. ...
