Don’t be cruel to Elvis

November
25

Seems that when I wrote about the United Way benefit the other evening called “Way Off Broadway,” I inadvertently overlooked a mention of the act just ahead of the Rockland Idles, of which I was part.

Actually, Jeff Keahon was getting us thinking we were out of our comfort zone, which wasn’t very comfortable to begin with.

Waiting to lip-sync to Elvis Presley’s “I’m All Shook Up,” Keahon would have made coffee nervous with his pacing in the shadows in the back-stage prep area.

He was just getting into character, I guess, because when he hit the stage, he had The King down perfectly.

The jet black wig and the sequined jumpsuit completed the look, although someone said he looked more like Evel Knievel.

Also deserving of another mention was Jane Brown from Child Care Resources of Rockland. After appearing in a production number from “Annie,” she did a quick change to hypnotize the audience of about 200 by singing an emotional rendition of “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”
