A Midsummer Night's Dream meets Elvis Presley. In Love Me Tender it seems an array of characters are in love with everyone apart from the person who loves them... and they can't help but break into Elvis tunes every two minutes. Love Me Tender may be the craziest musical ever, but it is so much fun and is a good crowd pleaser on the touring circuit.
