June 17, 2011 /

Charlotte, NC – Following boffo business at the box office, popular demand and press acclaim, Elvis Costello and the Imposters will be bringing the Spectacular Spinning Songbook to the Belk Theater in Charlotte on July 16.
Tickets are on sale now at BlumenthalArts.org, 704-372-1000 or from box office in the Belk Theater lobby, 130 N. Tryon St.
"The Revolver Tour" crossed the United States from Reno to New York City during May, concluding with a sold out three-night stand at that the Beacon Theatre.
As Rolling Stone reported, the evening combines the "kitsch of a game show and lounge act: a bar, a go-go cage with dancer and an Austin Powers-style hostess-dollybird; his own eye-popping selection of fedoras and sport jackets. When he wasn't singing or slamming at his guitars, Costello worked the stage like a burlesque-club emcee, cracking wise at a mile a minute and spinning a dandy's walking stick.…”
Despite the carnival elements of the show, The New York Times opined: "There is, in the end, no way to keep Mr. Costello's songs in any shallow entertainment mode...It didn't feel like show business at all. Maybe that was the real proof of Mr. Costello's showmanship."
Meanwhile the Los Angeles Times called “"The Revolver Tour", a uniquely invigorating experience that warrants a buzzword all its own: inspiring."
