A Tribute to Elvis: Rapid City '77



A Tribute to Elvis: Rapid City '77 is not only back for its one and final spectacular Melbourne Concert but also to farewell and give its own 'Thank you very much' to the iconic landmark venue The Dallas Brooks Centre before its demolition.

Rapid City 1977 was one of Elvis' last public appearances before his evident decline in health and of course disappearing from the spotlight of his adoring fans. The production's driving force is reliving the magic that this incredible man brought to millions of people worldwide during his lifetime and in particular on this very occasion in South Dakota.

Tony Franks has once again gathered the fantastic 12 piece Moreland City Orchestra 8 back- up singers his very own magic 8 piece band and a cast of colourful characters from Elvis's past
Take a trip back in time as the Dallas Brooks Centre will be transformed into a spectacular Elvis Memorabilia Museum featuring relics costumes and collectables from Elvis' final concert tour in 77.

Join us as we salute the Dallas Brooks Centre for one Last Concert reliving Elvis"Final Performance in Rapid City 1977'.

Circus Oz shows are co-created from the inspiration, ideas and energy derived from the unique skills of each member of the extremely diverse ensemble that are then woven into the core concept of the show like layers of a collage. For 2014 an extensive casting process was undertaken across Australia's vibrant circus community looking for recruits to add to the Circus Oz ensemble, structured around an equal number of men and women with various backgrounds, skills and bodies. Eight new performers are making their Circus Oz debut in 2014, joining four returning Circus Oz artists.
