What an opening—right from the first moment, the show grabs your attention and never lets go. The costumes were absolutely fantastic, bold and playful, with the glasses being a standout touch that instantly set the tone and paid loving tribute to Elton John’s iconic style. The performance cleverly walked us through the full history of Elton John’s life, capturing both the glittering highs and the more difficult lows, which gave the show real emotional depth as well as entertainment value.
One of the highlights was the audience participation. It felt inclusive, spontaneous, and genuinely fun, making everyone feel part of the experience rather than just spectators. The naming moments, especially Beatrix Supra and the Arsehole Beetroots, were hilarious and added a wonderfully absurd sense of humour that had the crowd laughing throughout.
It was a joy to see everyone singing their hearts out, fully immersed in the atmosphere, clearly enjoying not just the performance but the entire event. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the show surprised us again with a Cher impersonation, delivered with perfect timing and confidence.
Overall, this was a vibrant, witty, and heartfelt celebration packed with laughs, nostalgia, and unforgettable momentsl
