Elvis & Ali: The Summit: The Conversation That Would've Changed Everything...
It is the mid 1970’s and Elvis is frustrated with, well, being Elvis. The Colonel has just turned down a starring role in Streisand’s “A Star is Born”, a vehicle Elvis had hoped would challenge his true acting chops. Filled with existential angst and feeling misunderstood by everyone and everything surrounding him, he reluctantly reaches out to the one individual on the planet who just might understand the plight of being the most recognized person in the world – Muhammad Ali.
Ali, struggling with his own self-image and humanity, enthusiastically invites the King to the log cabin on his training camp for a summit. There they discuss, argue, and almost fight as they pursue issues of fame, religion, the military, women and their place in this life.
Ali’s message to Elvis is simple, be true, be who you are and get back to being a person first and then get among the people. Elvis takes The Greatest up on his challenge and closes the show in an unforgettable way.
Featuring the music Elvis played on piano and guitar at Graceland for friends and family in quiet moments. This is your chance to be in the Jungle Room or the Music Room for an intimate performance from the King...sometimes accompanied by the Greatest.
