Evel Knievel The Rock Opera

About Me

In the tradition of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Tommy, Evel Knievel The Rock Opera features bold-staging, mind-blowing special effects and great original music in the spirit of 70's classic rock!

The story follows Evel on his journey from his struggling early days as a copper miner in Butte, Montana to his triumphant arrival on the World Stage as the Greatest Motorcycle Daredevil of All Time.

Audiences for Evel Knievel The Rock Opera experience a full-tilt thrill-ride as they enter Evel's world and ride along with him and witness the full spectacle of his life:

The pure adrenaline rush of his jumps
The fateful love of his devoted wife
The trust of close friends - the betrayal by others
His charismatic control of the media
His struggle against the intoxication of corporate power
His fantasy encounters with his ultimate challenger, Father Time
