I am too young to have ever seen Elvis live, but am a huge Elvis fan. Thankfully Chris MacDonald does this FABULOUS live performance so superbly that I get to enjoy the memory of Elvis in person. I am truly grateful that Chris MacDonald does this show to keep Elvis memories alive. He is not some hokey impersonator. He really sounds like Elvis, moves like Elvis and does the whole show with class! His voice is great and his back up band did a great job too. Thank you again Chris MacDonald. I will go again to your show for sure!

I bought these tickets last minute to surprise my friend. She was totally surprised, which is always fun. The show was fantastic, Chris MacDonald was engaging and charismatic and a great singer, without being cheesy or over the top. The show last about 2 hours without the 15 minute intermission. We were both in a very up and happy mood when we left. All and all it was a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon and I would do it again. The theater is a great little theater and I go there whenever I can.
GREAT PROGRAM

This was one of the BEST performances we have seen in some time. We are planning to attend again on Jan 11, 2020 when Chris comes to Coral Springs, Florida. In fact, we are passing the word around getting people interested. Keep doing the show. We LOVE IT. THANKS.
He was fabulous.

So much music so little tine. Chris is the best legacy artist. The theater is not good for disabled people. No ramps. Handicapped seats fown in front. No way to gey there.
Excellent Experience
Amaturo Theater at Broward Center - Ft Lauderdale
We have seen Chris numerous times going back to when he started out some 20 years ago. Great voice, great entertainer. The show is about 2 hours long. More than enough time for Chris to offer songs from the beginning to the end of the Kings career. I admit to some bias since we first met Chris when he helped us out at a 50's dance we put on every year at the local Catholic Church. So we try to go see him one a year when he plays a local venue in Broward county. But the bottom line...…..if the guy could not sing and entertain the audience we would never pay for a ticket. Go see Chris...…..you will not be disappointed.
An awesome tribute show! Very entertaining!

Awesome show at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center. Beautiful venue and fantastic performance by Chris MacDonald and the band. Always a fun time - almost 3 hours of non-stop entertainment. A genuine tribute to Elvis, from the movie era 1950's to the white fringe in the 70's. Elvis comes alive again, thru Chris. A production not to be missed.

First let me state that Elvis was one year older than me. I am still a big fan of Elvis.
Chris MacDonald and his band are really keeping the spirit of Elvis alive with his music.
There were a lot of women present and Chris in the spirit of Elvis played to them.
Also he performed for over two hours .
He will be in boca at Lynn University and I am planning to take my grandkids to see him.
If you are reading this review your next move would be to find tickets for a venue near you.
Favorite moment: He had the audience sing a Neil ,Diamond Song Sweet Caroline with him.
Setlist: All the big hits from Elvis and many More
Opening act(s): It was all Elvis

A fabulous concert!!! Chris MacDonald and his very talented band gave 110%. An "OVER THE TOP" production in honoring the memory of Elvis. The show started with the movie songs from the 50's; then the Black Leather come back and ending with the White Fringe era. A fast paced, energetic show for almost 3 hours. Top notch entertainment for a reasonably priced admission. A SHOW NOT TO BE MISSED. They are the BEST!!!!

It was my first time seeing him live. The show was very entertaining. Also Chris is such a great human being. He is compassionate and attentive with his fans. I mentioned to him that my uncle that raised me passed away last week and that he was an Elvis fan and would had love to see the show. He offered his condolences. Yesterday after the show, he met all the fans that wanted a picture or an autograph, regardless if they purchased his merchandise or not. I haven't seeing such a nice artist in a long time. Asides from being a handsome guy, his inner beauty is his best asset.
Favorite moment: Suspicious Minds! My favorite song!
Opening act(s): No need for one. He is awesome!
Chris can entertain!

I may be somewhat partial in my review of the Chris MacDonald show. Chris helped us out once in the early 90's at a yearly 50's dance we used to hold at our church. He came in with a Karaoke unit and sang about 5-6 songs............and we immediately became fans. After that we went to see Chris play a few times at a club near the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport. This was over 20 years ago. Never had the opportunity to see him again until tonight at the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale.
This boy can sing and entertain you. The show was approximately 3 hours with a full band, horn section, and dancers. We brought our daughter and her fiancé and they loved it as well.
As for the venue.......Parker Playhouse is somewhat of a hidden gem in Ft. Lauderdale that has been in operation since the mid 60's. I have been going to concerts for almost 50 years in So. Fla. and, for me anyway, this place is about as good as it gets for a smaller venue. We have seen Robin Trower, Trailer Park Boys, and a few others there. No complaints. Easy and free parking. Comfortable seats........old school seating meaning you can actually move in and out of a row without stepping on toes. Just an overall nice environment. The only downside......there is no covered parking so be prepared if the weather is acting up.
So if you get the chance to see Chris do his tribute to Elvis jump on it. I am no expert in Elvis tribute artists but he is the best I have seen!
Favorite moment: The B.J. Thomas song "I Just Can't Help Believing".
Setlist: Kind of like asking about the set list at a Chuck Berry concert. Elvis songs of course!
Opening act(s): None

Chris MacDonald "Memories of Elvis" concert is a genuine tribute to the "King of Rock 'n Roll" - not an impersonation. Chris has the voice, the looks, and the moves - the real deal. A full production with dancers and a very talented band. The show starts with the movie songs from the 50's; the '68 comeback and then the white fringe and the songs from the 70's. A fantastic night of professional entertainment. A show not to be missed

THIS IS A FIRST RATE SHOW. CHRIS MAC DONALD HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND WHILE HE DOESN'T "IMPERSONATE" ELVIS , HE HONORS HIM WITH THE FAMILIAR LOOKS, MOVES SO THAT THE AUDIENCE STARTS TO THINK THEY ARE WATCHING ELVIS.
I DID NOT CARE FOR THE TWO DANCERS. THOUGHT THE GUITARIST , DRUMMER AND KEYBOARD WERE GREAT BUT THE BRASS A LITTLE HARSH
Favorite moment: THE TRILOGY FINALE, WHEN THE AUDIENCE REACTED BY ALL STANDING
Opening act(s): WOULD LIKE A MORE DRAMATIC OPENING PERHAPS "JAILHOUSE ROCK"

We definitely recommend Chris' show, Memories of Elvis, to anyone who loved Elvis. Chris engages the audience while singing Elvis favorites. He has a great band, there are dancers and backup singers. The production is professional and Chris takes time to meet personally with people after the show. Go see him when he is in your area.
Favorite moment: My favorite moments are when Chris sings Heartbreak Hotel and Steamroller Blues!
Setlist: There are so many Elvis songs and Chris varies the setlist.

Great show. I have seen Chris several times over the years going back to his days on The Sea Escape in Ft Lauderdale. We knew then he was something special and he has not disappointed us. He is energetic, loaded with a voice that doesn't quit, and he doesn't take himself to seriously...LOL ...He packs a lot into two and half hours. It's only a 15 minute intermission and he's back on stage. Again, GREAT SHOW!

An amazing concert at Parker Playhouse on Saturday, August 13th. The very talented Chris MacDonald presents the music and history of Elvis as a genuine tribute to the "King of Rock 'n Roll". The performance started with the 1950's movie era to the 70's, with appropriate costume changes. Each song was perfect. Overall, an awesome performance by Chris and the band. Several shows scheduled for Florida in January. Check the schedules - don't miss this one! Get your tickets soon.

Chris really puts all of himself into the show. You can tell he's very passionate about his tribute to Elvis. He's onstage for over 2 hours and never shows any signs of being tired.
This is a Las Vegas quality show. He does four costume changes, has a great band and dancers backing him up. I've been to his show two other times and I'm always amazed at how good he is and the effort he puts into it. I would highly recommend it to any Elvis fan.
Favorite moment: The finale-the patriotic trilogy with the American Flag on the screen and the two American Flags come down out of the ceiling. Very thrilling!

As a tribute to the King of Rock & Roll, Chris MacDonald brings Elvis' spirit to "life" with his own voice, without making it a cheap imitation. During the concert, Chris engaged the entire audience with his personality and "Elvis-isms" right down to throwing out Hawaiian leis to the audience, little stuffed teddy bears and, of course, the signature Elvis scarf. Chris also brought on stage DJ Fontana (Elvis' original drummer) to play a few songs with him. What a treat for us to witness this living legend! After the concert, Chris remained in the lobby to sign autographs and take pictures (he even let me sit on his lap... **swoon**) Chris certainly reminded my mother & me of our own "Memories of Elvis." We sang along to every song and had a wonderful time!

Chris MacDonald did a fabulous job portraying Elvis on stage. The concert began at 8:00 and ended at 11:00. He sang every popular Elvis song. The concert had a nice flow to it. He covered the songs from the beginning of Elvis' career to the end. I am so glad I went to see him. What a great night I had! Don't second guess yourself when contemplating purchasing tickets to this event. You will definitely enjoy this concert. GREAT JOB!

By far the best, most energetic tribute to Elvis I have ever seen. His voice is fabulous and he performed tirelessly for 2 1/2 hrs. Then came immediately out front to greet his fans, take pictures & sign autographs! Chris is unbelievable. We were completely blown away!
