ABOUT HEARTBREAK HOTEL

HEARTBREAK HOTEL is now playing at Broadway In Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut). HEARTBREAK HOTEL follows the tender story of Elvis Presley in the early years of his career as he and Sam Phillips create the music that will forever change their lives. As Elvis’s career skyrockets, both lifting and shattering the lives of those he loves, a secret love story is revealed, a betrayal is discovered, and “Colonel” Tom Parker changes the course of history, all in just 18 short months.
