John is a wonderful entertainer. He has energy to burn..You won't fall asleep at this show. Five costume changes and lots of good songs...you won't be disappointed. The show is about $27.00, some hotels have coupons for $2.00 off, I saw it too late...

I was hesitant when my husband wanted to attend this show - as I am not a fancier of Elvis copiers. However I surprisingly found myself greatly entertained. The two hours are more of a tribute to Elvis than an attempt to reincarnate him. John is great - very talented. The show follows Elvis' career from beginning to end by... More

I was totally blown away by John's performance. He was at ease and natural. He didn't come across as trying to be anyone but himself. John is most definately worth seeing. He made the week for us. I think I have a hundred photos he was so good.

The tribute to Elvis was excellent. John did not try to imitate Elvis,even tho he actually sounds a lot like Elvis,especially doing certain songs. He presents a very good show. His shyness comes thru but he pleased the whole audience. A 2 hr show where he just sang constantly except when he went backstage to change costumes. He worked so... More

I was not impressed at all with John's Elvis Tribute, and he really should not be called the "Nashville King"! I had a horrible experience and I will not be seeing his show again. Please, go elsewhere if you would like to see an Elvis Tribute! I have seen many Elvis Tribute Artist's perform and yes they are all different,... More

I heard quite a bit about this "A Tribute to Elvis" show starring John Beardsley, so my wife and I took our two young children (ages 7 and 3) to last night's show. Overall, I'd say the show was very good and worth the money we spent for 2 hours of entertainment. Our Wyndham Nashville timeshare offered discounted ticket vouchers... More

When you think of Nashville, you think of country music. But even rabid country music types look for alternate forms of entertainment during their visit. Recently, I attended A Tribute to THE KING at the Texas Troubadour Theatre across the street from the Gaylord Opryland Resort. Frankly, I was thinking it would be another impersonation of Elvis Presley. But, I... More

Utilizing six very skilled musicians, this almost 2 hour show of 30 songs and some history, is a tribute to Elvis's career. He has studied the man and his concerts so that, I think, even long time Elvis fans would find new information in this show. It is NOT a greatest hits performance, though many are done; it is more...
