The front curtain is opened. Ron shows up representing Elvis.

In the sentence "The front curtain is opened. Ron shows up representing Elvis." is the grammar correct?

Context: Ron is on backstage. He walks to the main stage, and he shows up representing Elvis Presley

Thanks!

The grammar is correct, but if Ron is an actor coming on to play the part of Elvis then "shows up" and "representing" are not the right words. You could say "Ron walks on stage, playing Elvis".
