Elvis and The Man In Black Tickets

Elvis and The Man In Black is a distinctive contemporary dance double bill featuring two collaborations from celebrated Canadian choreographers Laurence Lemieux and James Kudelka. Presented by Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie, now Citadel + Compagnie (renamed circa 2017), the work blends musical storytelling with innovative movement to explore identity, performance history, and the cultural landscapes surrounding iconic American musical gods. While the ensemble continues to honor its roots, the company has evolved into Citadel + Compagnie, maintaining a strong presence in Canadian dance.

Although the show’s most documented performances took place in 2014 in Toronto and 2016 in Peterborough, Elvis and The Man In Black remains a landmark example of how live music and dance intersect to create intimate theatrical experiences. For fans visiting venues across Canada, this page gathers essential background, notable achievements of the creators, and a clear view of past and available touring information.

Elvis and The Man In Black is a hallmark of Canadian contemporary dance—a project that showcases two distinct choreographic voices within a single program. While there are currently no publicly listed 2025 tour dates, the show’s historical footprint includes a Toronto run at The Citadel (Mimi Herrndorf Studio) in May 2014 and a later performance at Showplace Performance Centre in Peterborough on March 12, 2016. The component works offer audiences a nuanced look at musical reinterpretation through dance: The Man in Black centers on six Johnny Cash covers, while Looking for Elvis weaves Elvis songs with interview fragments, creating a layered, narrative-driven stage experience.
