A tribute show to Sir Elton John with a live band and dazzling costumes playing his classic hits.
The Rocket Man comes to The Albany Theatre on Friday 6 November, a tribute show to Sir Elton John. It's a tribute act rather than the man himself, and it's not affiliated with Elton John or his estate, so it's a night built around his songs rather than a personal appearance.
The show runs for around two hours and leans on a live band and dazzling costumes to carry a string of Elton hits. The setlist pulls from across his career, with 'Saturday Night's Alright', 'Crocodile Rock', 'I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues', 'Daniel', 'I'm Still Standing', 'Philadelphia Freedom' and 'Your Song' all listed. It's the kind of set that hits the familiar ground most people know, from the upbeat numbers to the slower ones.
It's billed as the world's favourite celebration of Sir Elton John, and the live band is a key part of the whole thing — it's a full band on stage, not just a backing track, which gives the songs a bit more room to breathe. The costumes are another part of the act, so there's a visual side to it as well as the music.
