Heartbreak Hotel (Chicago) Tickets

We loved the show. It was very entertaining. We would have liked to see a little more of the later years but the story was great. Show was well performed. Met our expectations and then some.

Disappointed in show! Not at the level it is being hyped at. While the lead actor sounded and sang like Elvis, it was painful to watch the dialogue parts. Being surrounded by strong theatrical talent helped. The first act was terribly slow. The second act redeemed the show to be just good not great. Ticket price way too high for quality of the show. Save your money. Show only covered the first five years of his career. Hit songs at the last five minutes was the only fun of the whole Show. Parker, Dixie, Narrator, Roy Benson and lead singers was great and you could see the difference in theater training than Elvis and Lead of his band.

We loved the show. The musicians were amazing and it was FUN!

Loved the show, loved the theater. Great music. Very upbeat. Not a bad seat in the house.

one of best show I have seen . Great music , well written show.

It was a good performance, but nothing amazing. Everyone's voices were amazing, but I think the storyline didn't do them justice. I felt like there was something missing through it all. I think I would have liked to hear more about the troubles of Elvis's life, rather than all the triumphs. I know they mentioned girl trouble, but there was definitely more there than that. I did not like that the theater was seating people during the performance instead of having set times/strict rules for late attendees. I think that the performance also lacked somewhat of a climax, and was pretty steady moving the whole time. The best part of the show was the very end with the true rock n' roll performance. Overall, its a show I enjoyed, but nothing memorable or something I'd be willing to pay much for based on the storyline.

Loved the music and excitement in the theater! Performers are A1 in our book! Learned a few things about Elvis that we didn't know.

I enjoyed it but it was not nearly as good as the plays about other early country artists. I loved Million Dollar Quartet (which I saw twice), Buddy Holly Story, Lost Highway and RIng of Fire. I didn't like that a lot of the songs were not sung all the way through. Also they left out a lot of the story of early Elvis. Some of the singing was drowned out by the band.

Good, but not as good as Million Dollar Quartet. A somewhat out of order, fictionalized version of Elvis early years.

This play needs to decide what it wants to be: a play about the young Elvis and his music, or a social commentary on Civil Rights. The fact that Elvis was heavily influenced by black music (gospel, "Hillbilly" and blues) is a crucial element in his development, no doubt. References to this are important and appropriate. But to devote at least a third of the play to Civil Rights issues of the 1950s, which did not involve Elvis, resulted in a disjointed and contrived plot. And for those who came to the play hoping to hear a lot of early Elvis music (close to 100% of us, I would guess), about 1/2 of the songs are performed not by Elvis but by black artists portraying Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and B.B. King. In other words, I felt as if I were seeing two musicals with two messages trying to come together. The writing, and maybe the direction, was faulty also in the intermission and conclusion cuts. At intermission, the cut was so flat that the audience sat for a bit, wondering if it was intermission; same when the pay ended....just, blah. Thankfully, the ending was rescued by a rousing Elvis performance (finally) of his early hits. I will also add that with all of the overt (and unnecessary) sexual references, this is not a family-friendly play. On the positive side, I thought the performers were, overall, excellent, and the man who played Elvis in particular was a fine talent. About 20 minutes into the play, you do see him as Elvis. That is no small accomplishment. The director spoke to the audience prior to the performance, emphasizing that this is still a work in progress. I hope that changes will be made soon, as I think the subject matter is rich and worthy of a focused and energetic treatment.

This play is completely incoherent. There are random scenes about the civil rights movement mixed amongst the story of Elvis. While these two things were related, the play did nothing to tie them together. The characters were flat and uncompelling, and there were no original songs. It was basically an Elvis tribute concert disguised as a play.

A great night out. I would gladly see it again. The actors voices were excellent and really sounded like the original performers.

Loved every second of this show. I didnt want it to end.

Enjoyed the show very much. Was expecting more of a solo act/story but there was a very talented company of singers. Recommend seeing it.

Can community theater could have done just as good if not better job. As much as I loved the million Dollar Quartet, I hated the heartbreak hotel. The acting was Poor and consume too much. I wanted to be musically entertained as I was during the million dollar quartet.

this show is second to none. A very good review of 50s/60s music history in the US, personal growth of Presley and turned into a revival concert at the end

Heartbreak Hotel was just what you would expect. It was fun, historical and a very "upbeat" theater experience. The characters were easy to believe. The whole team had very strong voices and they played off each other quite well. If I have any suggestion for the producers it would be that sometimes the instrumental music was too loud and one couldn't hear the words the actors were singing. In a couple of the Elvis songs, he sang just a little too fast to understand the words distinctly. At the end of the play, the audience was on their feet clapping to the beat. A great finale. I thoroughly enjoyed the play and will return in August with two new out of town guests. The story itself will never get old.

This production will go far ! My husband was glued to the performance!! The encore was spectacular ! EVERYONE was up dancing with the cast !! I’d definitely see it again ❤️
