We hired Mario Manzini to perform at our Vegas style Prom. He did his Elvis impersonation and comedy/magic show. This veteran performer was promt and eager to please. I have to admit the faculty and staff enjoyed the Elvis impersonation more than the kids did, because sadly, for the MTV generation, the King is dead, but the fire eating was impressive, as well as the obviously painful escape from the straight-jacket. Mario is a man of many talents. Judy Harvey, Atlanta Prom

It was a great way to kick-off our Spring Weekend activities, in fact it was probably the highlight for the whole weekend. Thanks again Mario for the great show.

Dear Mario: Thank you so much for participating in First Night Springfield, Missouri. the alcohol-free New Years' Eve celebration of the arts. The event was a huge success thanks in part to you. We heard very favorable comments about your performance. You interacted well with the audience, and included them whenever possible in your show. In addition, you spoke highly of First Night to the media prior to your underwater escape publicity stunt. Your support and kind words were truly appreciated. In addition, you were a great "Elvis." The performance went smoothly. It certainly added a lot to the finale. It was fun to see the families line up for a photo with you, following the fireworks. Even though you had to have been exhausted, you were courteous to everyone, and even offered to help with clean-up. I wish there were more folks like you. Thanks again for a terrific job. We'd love to have you back in Springfield, Missouri. Sincerely, Shellie Jones, Festival Manager, Urban Districts Alliance

Dear Mario: I can't thank you enough for being a the National Cattle Congress's Fair. What a great performance you gave at each of your shows and the audiences were huge at each performance. We have received many comments during and after the fair onwhat a great performer you are. The audience really enjoyed watching you accepting the challenge from the crowd. I witnessed the challenge when a member from the audience challenged you to escape from a pair of original hand-cuffs from Alcatraz prison. After the hand-cuffs were placed on your wrists, you made the statement that you were not sure if you could get out of the hand-cuffs due to the fact that you had never seen a pair like these before. We all watched you make it appear that you were working very hard to get out of the hand-cuffs. And the next thing that we knew, there you were with two free hands. There were also many delightful comments on what a great singing voice you have. And how well you pay tribute to Elvis with your singing of his songs. Thank you for helping us make the "Fair" a great event this year. We are wishing you the best in the future. Sincerely, Linda Z. Schmitt, Exec. Assist.
