The film opens in the UK on 19th September but many details of the cinema version have now been revealed (avoid reading further if you don't want to know!). Debbie shared details of the event including Joe's short introduction.
Another local fan also shared a photo taken afterwards with Joe on twitter (see below). Cineworld Sheffield have added a gallery of 12 photos to their facebook page.

VIVA! Hysteria Event Summary - By Debbie Holman
"I think we were in the VIP screening room which held about 100 people. It was about 3/4 full. The reserved seats were filled by local people, who Joe sat with, my guess is they were local friends of his, possibly school/family friends."
"Joe came in, wearing his sunglasses!! He said, well, it's a bit dark in 'ere for sunglasses but these are me Elvis sunglasses, I'm fitting in with the Viva Las Vegas theme!!!"
"He then went on to introduce the film, by saying a bit about the residency and how much they'd thoroughly enjoyed doing it."

"He then went on to say how honoured the band are to have the residency showing worldwide in cinemas, he said its a brilliant showcase for what they feel is 3 decades of awesome music!! Everyone clapped and cheered at that! He then said that he's seen the film, but tonight was the first ever public showing of the film in the world. I feel very honoured to have seen it with him."
"He then said hope you all enjoy!! He sat with friends, enjoyed a few nachos!! And a few glasses of white wine! He looked really relaxed and happy and chatted to his friends throughout the film!! He did take the sunglasses off to watch the film!"
"He left during Photograph, he had other engagements to get to, so no chat/photo but I really don't mind!! I had an amazing experience that only around 70 other Leps fans in the world have had!!"
