T1960655749 (SPACENTRE09)This vibrant new show of the best of Elton John features all the hits you want to hear, including Rocket Man, Your Song, Saturday Night’s All Right For Fighting & Candle in the Wind. From the moment Elton (Neil Lockwood) walks out on to the stage, you know you’re in for a rip-roaring night. His costumes, his voice, his expressions (his tantrums!) tell you that the Maestro is in the building. Pure Elton at his most flamboyant, at his most engaging and at his most successful. More than a tribute show, this is as close to an Elton concert as you can get without taking out a loan! Rocket Man is simply the best Elton John tribute in the world. | |

T792932078 (SLIP03)Jimmy Pride, rocket man is charismatic and tough and famous for driving a supercharged black hearse and firing off illegal rockets; he's scared of nobody; he does a man's job he's proud of - and as a white heterosexual man he's supposed to be king of the world. Somehow it doesn't fell like that now...When he builds a house for his widowed mother he has to fight for it. At the same time, there is a woman involved: Shirley, a mother of what may be Jimmy's son - but the Child Support Agency, and Shirley, haven't quite caught up with Jimmy yet...This is more shocking and controversial than the Tony Martin story and certainly unsuitable for children; but there is romance, humour and bravery (of a dark kind). Rocket Man has the truth and apparent simplicity of a folk-tale. Inspired by a true story, Rocket Man throws a punch at New Labour and is 'passionate and heartfelt, darkly funny but overwhelmingly alive'.Producer Slipstream Productions. Author Ritchie Smith.
