ABOUT
Elton Out Of The Closet® is the world’s best and most exciting re-creation of Elton and his classic 1970s' band.
Starring the incomparable Jason Paris, Elton Out Of The Closet® re-creates Elton's golden mid-70s period, when he was young, outrageous, full of energy, and the hottest rock star on the planet! While visually focused on the thrilling 70s, the show includes all the big hits from 1970 - 1994.
