Elton John

Elton John review

The Queen of England eschews his patchier recent material for a whirlwind of greatest hits, opening a 100-minute show with 'Bennie and the Jets' and playing everything you'd hope to find in an Elton John set list. David LaChapelle's outlandish films and increasingly ridiculous set decoration celebrate Elton's past; the veteran performer is sensible enough not to dwell on his less engaging present, making this blockbuster well worth a look if you're in town for one of its 50 annual shows.
