| “Comeback
fur Elvis” is an interesting application of the musical theatre
genre. But maybe “Comeback fur Elvis” is saying something
more, something bigger. The play itself serves as a metaphor for theatre,
particularly state subsided theatre, by pointing out how it is but an
imitation of the other, bigger idols. Isn’t the actor in the end
not the same as a kereokee singer? Viewing “Comeback fur Elvis”
in this light opens up the new and radical discussion of the possibility
of musicals and musical theatre today. We hope a young audience will see
this production. It deserves an audience. Berliner Zeitung |
