Lago Puts On His Blue Suede Shoes!		Lago brings Elvis back to life!
If you happen to be in the Chicago area this spring, be sure to visit the Apollo Theater where THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ David Lago (ex-Raul) is giving the performance of his life as Elvis Presley in the musical Million Dollar Quartet. “The story is based on an evening that occurred in December 1956 when Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash all happened to be at Sun Records’ studio in Memphis, and producer Sam Phillips (the man who discovered them) recorded them doing a jam session,” Lago says of the show, now playing. “It’s really entertaining and also educational. You learn a lot about early rock ‘n’ roll and about what was going on in each of their lives at that time.” The Daytime Emmy winner worked hard to capture Elvis’ essence (he’s got the hips down!) and is not only singing, but also playing guitar on stage. For tickets to the show, which runs through May 30, visit www.milliondollarquartetlive.com or www.ticketmaster.com.
