Description

Take a seat at BLINK's table as the cast spill the tea on their food stories. Watch as they deep-dive into the events at the end of the life of Elvis, the King of Rock'n'Roll, with their signature sensory and often bizarre tangents... Good Food Gospel anyone? ELVIS DIED OF BURGERS has a non-linear narrative. It uses semi-improvised dance, theatre and spoken word to create an exciting, edge-of-your-seat experience for audience and cast alike.

Definitely says non-linear, which is the perfect way to describe this. Definitely has a very good core of performers, with many surprises up their sleeves. And there's never been such an early show, with such an exciting and random ending like that. True respect from me, a autistic to the disabled performers as well. I would hope it could make it big somehow. Absolutely amazing.
