Angel
In Disguise - Tony Roi
I have been trying to decide how I can possibly write a review of
Tony’s show when so many
good things have already been said. I finally decided I had to try
because I have enjoyed his shows so very much and I felt much
younger and happier after seeing him. I believe Tony Roi is
an Angel since he has such a beautiful voice and brings so much joy,
love and happiness to so many people. He also has a great sense of
humor, beautiful smile and his eyes, oh my. What a beautiful man in
so many ways.
When you arrive at Tony’s house at
Music City
Center, the doors are opened and you are greeted and made to
feel welcome by Richard, who appears to be a happy man and why
wouldn’t he be he works with Tony every day. After everyone is
seated in Tony’s House and its time for the show the excitement
builds when Tony’s Powerhouse Band and his Angel Singer take the
stage, all great performers in their own right.
Soon Tony comes out singing and dancing his way into everyone’s
heart. He tells everyone you’re in my house now, let your hair down
and do whatever you feel like, scream, jump up and down, dance;
there are no seat belts on the seats. Don’t think he really needs to
tell his fans that because you can’t help but get excited listening
to and watching Tony.
He begins his show with his tribute to Elvis with songs like “Way
Down”, “Moody Blues” and many of Elvis’s early songs, doing a great
job on all of them. My 9 year old granddaughter’s favorite is “Hound
Dog”, yes I have introduced her to Elvis and Tony.
It would be very hard for me to pick a favorite, but I have always
loved “In the Ghetto” and when Tony sings that one it is out of this
world. He finished the show with “How Great Thou Art”, words can’t
describe the beauty of that one and the way Tony does it.
Tony also sings some of his own music my favorite of those is
definitely “Back on the Road Again”. The words in that one are so
Tony, such as “music is my soul” and “I was born to sing”. Tony
recorded this and many other beautiful songs on his “Hand In Hand”
CD. Tony sings and dance two solid hours, what energy and still
takes time to come out after the show to visit with the fans, sign
autographs and pose for pictures.
The last show I attended on June 1, a lady that sat next to me told
me she brought her niece to see Tony because the niece was a big
Elvis fan. When I could take my eyes off the stage I stole looks at
her and at first she sat and looked like she could not believe what
she was seeing. After the show I asked the niece if she enjoyed the
show, her reply was “Oh yes, I ‘m in love, going to leave my
husband”. Her aunt laughingly said “she won’t do that she has been
married 30 years”.
I have been married 49 years and I completely understand, had
the same feeling the first time I saw Tony and still do each time I
see him. Tony can take you back to your youth, another reason to
believe he is an angel. At least I brought Tony home with me this
time by way of his DVD and CD’s. My husband is still here and enjoys
the “Hand In Hand” CD as much as I do.
Branson has so many things to see
and do, but if you miss 'Tony Rio’s Elvis Experience' you
have missed the VERY BEST.
