The show will then have played 20 previews and four regular performances at New World Stages.

Directed by Henry Wishcamper, Elvis People features Jordan Gelber, Jenny Maguire, David McCann, Nick Newell, Nell Page and Ed Sala as characters whose lives were forever changed by "The King," as Grissom traces the influence of Presley on our culture.
