We have over 1,300 seats and his show packed in a full crowd at $ 25 a seat on Jan 7, 2025 for Elvis's birthday. Mario is rated the top 3rd Elvis Tribute Artist in the Mid West and his show was fantastic. He did 2 sets of an hour each singing all of the hit songs of Elvis. This is the 3rd time in the past few years that we have had him perform here and it won't be the last. I highly recommend Mario Manzini for any event where you are wanting a first class Elvis concert.
