THE ROCKET MAN SHOW: TRIBUTE TO ELTON JOHN
FRIDAY, AUGUST 4TH, DPAC www.dpacnc.com
Crash land into your seat with The Rocket Man Show, starring Scotsman Rus Anderson.
Elton John’s official body double for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ world tour videos and photos. 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.
