Featuring Legends Artists
Johnny Fortuno
as Elvis Presley
Jackie Wiatrowski
as Lady Gaga
Damian Brantley
as Michael Jackson
A Hawaii boy, Johnny
debuted in Don Ho’s
show then traveled the
world as “Elvis” with
Legends in Concert.
In addition to being an
original “Rock-A-Hula”
anchor, he was also
Las Vegas’s “Ultimate
Elvis” preliminary
round winner in 2011.
Her life has revolved
around music, from
playing piano, to being
a technically trained
dancer, to wowing
audiences with her
vocals. With her
signature makeup and
costumes, Jackie’s
transforms into Lady
Gaga before your eyes.
Born to a musical family,
Damian was a fan
favorite when he helped
open “Rock-A-Hula”
in 2011. His talent and
energy radiates from
the stage as he skillfully
pays tribute to the
thrilling dancer and
legendary performer
Michael Jackson.
