ABOUT

FYBH2087.JPG

Elton When Rock Was Young® is the international Elton John concert-style theatre spectacular.   A grand show that brings the voice, character, costumes, iconic instruments, and young Elton himself back into the spotlight!

​

This is the world's most exciting and entertaining portrayal of the mid-70s, top-of-his-game Elton we all remember:  athletic, fantastic vocals, magnificent costumes, and consistently iconic songs.

​

Starring the world-renowned Jason Paris (commended by Queen's Brian May), Elton When Rock Was Young® features the world’s finest Marilyn Monroe impersonator (Suzie Kennedy), ‘Bernie Taupin’, and Elton’s 1970s’ bandmates.

Innovation

​

Producer and Principal, Jason Paris, understands that, to be worthy of the world’s most prestigious stages, Elton When Rock Was Young® must exceed the expectations of the most discerning Elton fan.   To this end, Elton When Rock Was Young® includes a number of unique or innovative features:

​​

  • The show is entirely focused on Elton’s mid-70s peak.   Paris’s commanding stage persona is therefore athletic and powerful, and his singing voice is uncannily like young Elton’s;
     

  • Marilyn Monroe’s ghost duets with Elton, as a hologram, on ‘Candle In The Wind’;
     

  • Key figures from Elton’s musical life are on stage:  Bernie Taupin (the show’s narrator), Davey Johnstone, Ray Cooper and Nigel Olsson;
     

  • A detailed, custom-made replica of Olsson’s massive drumkit from the mid-70s is the centre-piece.   It was featured in Modern Drummer magazine;
     

  • A custom-made replica of Elton’s 1975 piano, with sequins and carpet, adds to the pizzazz.   It’s built to withstand Elton’s acrobatic punishment!

​

  • A vast collection of guitars (and an Indian tanpura!) faithfully replicate the nuances that discerning audiences expect from Elton’s records.
