The Rocket Man Show

The Elton John Musical Tribute

The Rocket Man Show is the #1 Elton John musical tribute. Hand picked by Elton John himself and the official body double for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ world tour videos & photos. The Show matches Elton's insane energy night after night. Recreating an early concert with gorgeous, colorful & flamboyant costumes actually worn by Elton - including boots, glasses & jumpsuits from 1973, as well as his sparkly tuxedo from 1984! With all the classic young Elton antics, audiences are in for a night of nostalgia, singing, laughing & participation. Remember when rock was young? You will after the show!
