ABOUT
Elton Out Of The Closet® is the world's most exciting and authentic portrayal of mid-70s Elton. This is the top-of-his-game Elton we all remember: athletic, fantastic vocal range, magnificent costumes, and consistently iconic songs.
Starring the incomparable and world-renowned Jason Paris, Elton Out Of The Closet® has been commended by Queen's Brian May and Elton's David Hentschel.
Elton Out Of The Closet® is a 12-piece, semi-autobiographical Vegas spectacular that brings the voice, character, costumes, iconic instruments, and young Elton himself out of the closet...
Some reasons why Elton Out Of The Closet® is the best Elton tribute on the planet:
-
Jason Paris portrays Elton in the first person. You'll believe you're with the man himself!
-
Jason actually sounds like Elton: in his singing and speaking voices;
-
Jason is a masterful, powerful and expressive Rock vocalist, and an exceptional Rock pianist;
-
the show is exciting... by presenting Elton in his 20s, the show is energetic, funny and emotional;
-
the 2-metre long, custom-made grand piano allows Jason to re-create the acrobatics Elton was famous for in his youth;
-
the custom-made replica of Nigel Olsson's iconic eight-piece drumkit, from Elton's 1974 tour (recently featured as Kit Of The Month in the international Modern Drummer magazine!);
-
detailed re-creations of Elton's flamboyant costumes from the mid-70s;
-
re-creation of Elton's classic 70s band;
-
with his mastery of multiple instruments (including the Indian tanpura, lapsteel and banjo), our guitarist brings the familiar colours and textures of Elton's records to each performance;
-
the show reveals the songs' back-stories, touches poignantly on Elton's relationships with Princess Diana, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury, and finds that magic middle-ground between 'Rock show' and 'theatre'.
