WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

The life story of Elton John (Egerton), from his days as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music, to his breakthrough as an entertainer, to his battles with depression and substance abuse…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Elton John’s life story is given the Bohemian Rhapsody treatment, albeit in a much more fantastical light, and with plenty of musical numbers set to Elton’s greatest hits.
