Rocketman: Live in Concert
Take a journey to stardom with a film that charts the life of music legend Elton John, accompanied by a full orchestra performing its world-renowned score.
The critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning Rocketman by Paramount Pictures breaks into even more stratospheric territory, projected onto a huge ultra-HD screen, while an on-stage orchestra brings to life the iconic music of Sir Elton John.
Rocketman depicts the fascinating and tumultuous story of Elton John’s life and journey, from a shy, self-conscious boy who taught himself piano, to one of the most decorated, successful and colourful icons of popular music.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher and written by Lee Hall, the film sees award-winning actor Taron Egerton take on the lead role, singing his way through Elton’s success with ubiquitous hits such as ‘Your Song’, ‘Tiny Dancer’ and ‘I’m Still Standing’.
The film also stars Jamie Bell as Elton’s longtime lyricist and writing partner Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as Elton’s first manager, John Reid, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton’s mother Sheila Farebrother.
It’s going to be a long, long time ‘til you get the chance to see a show like this again.
