Event Details
Handpicked by Elton John & David Furnish, it was Rus' own live tribute production 'The Rocket Man Show' which got him noticed. In the show, Rus recreates the magic & live persona of a young Elton like no other. Storming around the stage with a fun-loving sense of flamboyance; part diva, part soccer player, killer vocalist, fierce piano player, all rock & roller. Rus painstakingly recreates a 1970?s Elton concert with gorgeous, colorful, and flamboyant costumes worn by Elton ? including his iconic boots, glasses, and jumpsuits from 1973, as well as a sparkly Swarovski tuxedo from 1984. With praise from critics, Elton fans and celebrities alike - including Queen?s Adam Lambert who described Rus' performance as ?phenomenal?, and Meghan Trainor who declared ?you IS Elton!? ? The Rocket Man Show has quickly joined the list of hottest and must-see shows in town.
