THE inventive Spitz &Co return to Dorset’s Artsreach touring circuit with a new comedy, looking back to the early years of the King of rock’n’roll. Elvis in Blue Hawaii, with comic mayhem and audience interaction, plus all your favourite Elvis songs, comes to Studland village hall on Wednesday 5th February, East Stour on Friday 7th and Wootton Fitzpaine on Sunday 9th, all at 7.30pm.

Following their previous sell-out tours of Gloriator, Gloria in The Mist and Les Gloriablès, Spitz & Co returns with award-winning Elvis impersonator Joe Reeve (Best Sideburns, GlosVegas 2014) starring in his version of the classic Elvis film Blue Hawaii, while his long-time tour manager, the inimitable Josephine Cunningham, tries to keep the show on the road – next stop, Vegas!

Artsreach director Kerry Bartlett says: “Spitz & Co have built a reputation for creating funny, original shows, and our audiences have loved each of their previous tours. I still remember the laughter in Winfrith following some of the most unbelievable and unexpected comedy moments in Les Gloriablès!”

Dig out your favourite Hawaiian shirt and escape to paradise in this raucous musical comedy, guaranteed to leave you all shook up!

At Wootton Fitzpaine, experienced comedy performer and writer Susie Donkin will lead a clowning workshop ahead of the show, from 4pm. Through simple games and basic theatre exercises which focus on status and relationship with an audience, participants will discover what it is that can make people laugh.
