Will Hologram Liberace Feel Like the Real Thing?

Hologram USA announced today that it has reached an "historic partnership" with the Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts to produce a full-scale, long-running hologram show featuring Liberace. That's right, the man who was all about the tactile pleasure of ostentation will be re-conceived as a transparent, shallow man tinkling the ivories.

As THR reports, most recent hologram projects have been short one-time appearances, but "this will be the first to use Hologram USA's patented technology to present a life-like experience for fans in a feature length, live show format."

This will be the same technology that created the famous Tupac Shakur Coachella hologram. "This is a major step in the evolution of this medium for entertainment," says Alki David, CEO of Hologram USA. "With our partners at the Liberace Foundation we'll be able to stage a show so lifelike--the room will be filled with all of the great singer's charm and charisma. The show will be staged in such a way that Liberace will be able to interact with the audience--the suspension of disbelief the performance will cause will leave fans certain he has come back."

Get the South Park episode ready. In a recent one titled, "#HappyHolograms," Hologram Michael Jackson escapes and Hologram Tupac has to assassinate him. We can only imagine what will happen when Liberace joins the fray.
