A 'HIGH-tech' Elvis Presley show has been blasted by fans who say it involved grainy video clips while an impersonator danced on stage. Some attendees were expecting cutting-edge holograms to rival the smash hit Abba Voyage virtual gigs. 2 But it has since been compared to last year's Willy Wonka experience flop by furious audiences. Elvis Evolution promised a dazzling journey through the King of Rock and Roll's life when it opened at the ExCel in East London this month. However, disappointed punters who paid up to £300 for VIP tickets claim there was no 3D avatar — just an actor dancing in front of video clips of the icon. Chas Johnson, 48, said: 'The whole thing is lamentable. "But where it goes really wrong is where there was meant to be something akin to Abba Voyage with a hologram of Elvis, the focal point, that's completely missing.' Another attendee said: 'People were looking around and thinking, 'Is this it?'.' Others compared it to the Wonka show in Glasgow where an immersive experience left kids in tears. An Elvis Evolution spokesman said plans for a hologram concert announced in early 2024 were dropped during development. But they insisted this was 'made clear when tickets went on sale' and the show has been 'praised by fans and newcomers'.
