Conjuring The King: An immersive Elvis Fan Club Experience, produced by the Juggerknot Theatre Company, is playing in Miami through Apr. 28.
Written by Dipti Bramhandkar with immersive concept and direction by Ana Margineanu, Conjuring The King stars Susie K. Taylor and June Raven Romero as the Elvis Fan Club president, Miami.
Performances are Wednesday-Sunday (two shows per evening) through Sunday, Apr. 28. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances are at 7 and 9:20 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 7:30 and 9:45 p.m.
Ever dreamed of being part of Elvis Presley’s inner circle?
Juggerknot Theatre Company is making those dreams come alive with Conjuring The King, an immersive theatrical extravaganza event “that’s all about celebrating the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in style and substance,” said Juggerknot Theatre Company founder Tanya Bravo. “The immersive experience is ready to rock your world in true Elvis fashion.”
This club is exclusive to 15 lucky fans at a time.
Starring Susie K. Taylor and June Raven Romero as Avarey, the president of the “Miami” Elvis Fan Club, this one-woman show turns everyone from an audience member into a pivotal fan and member of the club.
“Everyone will experience the multifaceted essence of fandom and the personal ties that bind us to our idols,” Bravo said. “Every performance will be a unique journey through the heart of Elvis mania, guided by two of Miami’s noted performers — Susie K. Taylor and Raven Romero. No two shows will be the same.”
As a Fan Club member each of the 15 participants will not just be watching – but living the Elvis fan experience. There will be games, sing-alongs and snacks.
“And maybe, just maybe, one will find a piece of themselves in the music and memories of Elvis Presley,” Bravo said. “Prepare to step into a world brimming with Elvis’s memorabilia, music and the magic that made him a legend. This isn’t just a trip down memory lane. It’s a dive into the deep end of what it means to be a fan, the human connection through shared passions, and the obsession that brings us all together.”
Bravo is encouraging everyone to wear their best Elvis look.
“So, shine those blue suede shoes, fluff up that pompadour, and let’s make the King proud. See you at the secret hideaway – where the spirit of Elvis lives on,” she said.
