- Audience members for the new "Elvis Evolution" immersive experience in London have expressed significant disappointment, labelling the show "misleading" and "a shambles from start to finish".
- Attendees, who paid between £75 and £300 for tickets, expected a holographic Elvis performance but instead saw upscaled video footage, leading to accusations of being "mis-sold".
- Many fans, including those who purchased "Super VIP" packages, felt exploited and compared the experience to a low-budget production, with some leaving early or demanding refunds.
- Layered Reality, the show's producer, said that the concept evolved from its initial announcement, with a creative decision made not to mimic Elvis's performances directly but to use AI on archive footage.
- The show, running at ExCel London until December 2025, has received mixed reviews from critics, ranging from one-star for being "limp" to three-stars for being "enjoyable once accepted".
