Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello will bring the Spectacular Spinning Songbook to the U.K. in May of 2012.

An overture of five uninterrupted rock and roll tunes announces Elvis Costello and the Imposters to the stage, after which members of the audience are invited to spin the gigantic vaudevillian contraption and select the next song.

Fortune may deliver such hits such as 'Oliver's Army', 'Everyday I Write The Book' and 'Watching The Detectives' or land on a 'Jackpot' selection such as 'Time' and 'Girl', demanding a sequence of songs, each containing these words.

Such career highlights as 'Shipbuilding' or 'God Give Me Strength' can spin into view alongside hidden gems from the Costello songbook like, 'Town Cryer' or tunes by The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash and, of course, Bob Dylan's 'This Wheel's On Fire'.

Bolder participants may shake a tailfeather in the Hostage-To-Fortune Go-Go Cage, while the more reserved take a seat in the Society Lounge.

'The Revolver Tour' arrives following an acclaimed run U.S. dates during the Spring and Summer of 2011. The tour was extended three times, due to popular demand, drawing over 10,000 attendees in New York City alone and received rave notices from coast to coast.

Rolling Stone said the show combined, "the kitsch of a game show and lounge act:....when he wasn't singing or slamming at his guitars, Costello worked the stage like a burlesque-club emcee, cracking wise at a mile a minute and spinning a dandy's walking stick.'

Under a by-line, 'Singer jams hits, rarities and covers in epic two-and-a-half-hour long show', another Rolling Stone reported that, 'Costello switched from a Fender to a gold Les Paul, howling away and wailing on piercing wah-wah notes. He rocked out even harder to 'Uncomplicated', feeding off the energy of a female dancer in the go-go cage shaking maracas.'
