Remember that Scot Bruce event we had a few weeks back? Well, we had Kristi cover it and she's sent back a great review of the show. After a bit of cut'n'paste magic, you'll be able to see it too!
Shake, Rattle, and Roll! Scot Bruce brings down the house!
If you missed Scot Bruce and his hips recently…I’m sorry. That’s right. I am sorry you missed it. A FANTASTIC time was had by all at Scot Bruce’s Elvis Tribute on the Octagon stage at ASF Thurs. June 5 – Sun. June 8.
In case you’re wondering, “Who is this hip cat Scot Bruce?” let me tell you. Scot Bruce is the ultimate Elvis impersonator. But I hate to call him an “impersonator.” When you see the show or even meet Scot, you realize that he really is the ultimate Elvis fan who just so happens to look, move, and sing exactly like him. In the world of “America’s Got Talent” and “The Next Best Thing,” I sometimes get offended by the cheesiness of some of these guys. For those of us who are true Elvis fans, the last thing we want to see is someone up there mocking the King.
The best thing about Scot is that he really digs Elvis’ music and has a reverence for him. He does not refer to himself as Elvis but as Scot. Even during his show, he is not the king but a guy who is lucky to have the opportunity to get up there and perform Elvis’ songs. He doesn’t do any of the cheesy “Thank you very much’s” or lip snarls, but is a performer on stage acting the heck out of a role. And ladies and gentleman, he is good. You sit (or dance) in your chair and just like the magic of theatre should, you are magically transported to another time. And for just for that moment, you get to see Elvis, hear Elvis, and “go cat go” with the King of Rock and Roll.
Scot has generously made himself available for many fundraisers like this in the past at ASF, and rumor has it, he will be back…soon… so stay tuned for more details!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sounds like Kristi has the scoop on Scot Bruce. It shouldn't be long before he'll be visiting us again.
Soon we'll be starting up weekly interviews with my co-workers, so if there's anything about theatre that you've always wanted to know about, leave a question in the comments. We'll try to answer as many questions as possible this week!
