The following is a press release written by Danny Gutierrez for the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.
The Buskirk-Chumley Theater (BCT) is proud to announce that Elvis: In Person starring Matt Stone returns to Bloomington on Friday, August 21, 2026. Doors open at 7:00 PM at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave., Bloomington, IN.
The greatest Elvis concert experience in America is back — and this time, it’s bigger than ever. Internationally recognized by Graceland and the Elvis Presley Estate, Matt Stone delivers the closest thing to the King audiences have seen since 1977. This is not an impersonator act. Elvis: In Person is a full theatrical production, backed by a sensational all-star band, presenting Elvis Presley at the absolute peak of his powers.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Matt Stone brings a never-before-seen level of authenticity and attention to detail to his craft, captivating audiences with a flawless recreation of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in his prime. Stone’s vocal power and charisma are so strikingly authentic that he has even been heard on SiriusXM’s Elvis Radio.
Elvis’s own friends and family have taken notice. Elvis’s step-brother Billy Stanley has said of Stone: “When I heard [Matt]… now if I close my eyes that’s Elvis. It touched my heart. The only person I ever heard sing like that was my brother, and [Matt] was real close — SCARY — that’s how close it was.” Longtime Elvis girlfriend Joyce Bova has added: “Matt is incredibly gifted and handsome, with incredible energy and sex appeal.”
Backed by a sensational all-star band, Elvis: In Person will have audiences convinced that the King himself is back in the building. After experiencing this electrifying spectacle, you’ll remember Elvis the icon and forget everything else.
