Rhonda, my parents and I went to Legends in August of '08 and we noticed Ryan was not there. While the other Elvis did a good job, we really enjoyed Ryan's performance as Elvis. It was strange because when the other Elvis came on stage, you could tell people were, disappointed, if that's the word. They still participated and clapped along and whatnot, but there was nowhere near the reaction for him as we thought there would be.
After the show (during the meet and greet) my mother somehow started talking to his manager and he told her that he was leaving the show because he was exploring other opportunities (like you said). He also said Ryan, like many other performers in the show, have been working nonstop so he needed somewhat of a break.
