As any Broadway theater-goer knows, jukebox bio-musicals are surprisingly difficult to pull off well. Stringing together hit songs in a way that serves a story, while also dealing with all the real-life egos involved, often involves sacrificing musical or dramatic integrity. It's even more surprising, then, that one of the best recent bio-musicals isn't even a Broadway show: it's Rocketman, the musical movie about the early life and career of Sir Elton John. By giving itself permission to be a musical first, the movie's soundtrack manages to capture the iconic musician's sound without giving up on a satisfying dramatic arc.
You've admired Elton John's talent, seen the fabulous movie, 'Rocketman,' and now it's time to get the book that chronicles it all. Weldon Owen International has published Rocketman: Inside the World of the Movie based on the recent blockbuster from Paramount Pictures. Film fans and all those who have followed the career of Elton John will love having this beautiful book.
