The Rocket Man Show at Toyota Oakdale Theatre

Elton John’s music, story, and magnificence is coming back to life LIVE on stage as THE ROCKET MAN SHOW takes his life story into an action-packed Broadway-esque production. Starring Rus Anderson, specially handpicked by Elton John & David Furnish for the role, it perfectly depicts the legendary artist’s “fun-loving sense of flamboyance; part diva, part soccer player, killer vocalist, fierce piano player, all rock & roller.” A regular performance at some of the world’s most prestigious theaters, millions of fans have this rockin’ show on their bucket lists. Heading to Wallingford, this is your chance to catch Anderson’s larger-than-life recreations of Elton’s wonderful and amazing life.

From rock clubs to opera houses, The Rocket Man Show has enthralled audiences with its stunning musical productions. With a whole lot of attention to detail, every single move that Rus makes represents Elton John’s true persona. Moreover, the man’s gorgeous costumes are spot-on in this tribute show — his iconic boots, glasses & jumpsuits straight out of the ‘70s. Many of the items and costumes used in the show are said to be owned by Elton himself, worn at his previous live shows.

In a review by Coastal Breeze News, they say “To pull off an Elton John tribute show, you need serious piano and vocal chops. You also need a heavy dose of outsize stage presence and a wardrobe of outlandish garments,” sharing that Rus ticks all of these boxes flawlessly. Said to bear a presence that largely resembles young Elton at his finest, his acts will have you believing that it’s actually the man himself on stage.

“The audience was with him all the way, singing along, applauding thunderously, and for some, wearing their own version of oversized sequined Elton John glasses and sparkly suits.” A communal experience for longtime and dedicated fans of the legend, The Rocket Man shows perfectly encapsulates Elton John’s legacy.

“Phenomenal!” Adam Lambert said about the show.

‘Rus as Elton John is AMAZING!” said Jimmy Fallon.

“Anderson sartorials it up, with Elton John's signature aplomb!” NBC Los Angeles shared.

“A show as extravagant as Elton's career,” St. Petersburg Times declared.
