'Heartbreak Hotel' skims surface of Elvis Presley's meteoric rise to fame

Chicago Sun-Times: It took 18 months for Elvis Presley to go from obscurity to superstardom.

As a prequel to the hit musical “Million Dollar Quartet,” “Heartbreak Hotel” tells that story, charting Presley’s rise to fame from humble truck driver to music icon. Featuring 36 songs (some Presley’s, some from his era contemporaries), fans (and even non-fans) will be hard-pressed not to get up on their feet and dance along to “All Shook Up,’ “Jailhouse Rock” and more.
