Created by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti, with a concept by Floyd Mutrux, Heartbreak Hotel chronicles the remarkable rise of Elvis Presley from humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi, to becoming the legendary “King of Rock and Roll”. Featuring more than 40 unforgettable hits including “That’s All Right”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Hound Dog”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Love Me Tender”, and the title song “Heartbreak Hotel”, this high-energy musical celebrates the music and the man who forever changed popular culture.
Told through the eyes of those who knew him best, the story follows Elvis as he reflects on the defining moments of his extraordinary life. Guided by his younger self, he revisits his discovery by Sam Phillips, his meteoric rise to fame, the loss of his beloved mother, his military service, and culminates with the triumphant 1968 Comeback Special that cemented his legendary status.
