Elvis is in the building.

Or, more accurately, at the Lone Pine Ranch Event Centre in Vernon.

The four-hour dinner performance called Tony N Tina害羞草研究所檚 Wedding is based on the 1980s play of the same name, but with a twist.

Christopher Blaine, from Penticton, will be playing the MC rock star during the events on April 13 and 15.

Years ago, Blaine signed up to compete in the Penticton Elvis Festival and has been playing the role ever since.
