Review of Rocketman (2019) by Felicityfenwick — 29 May 2019
One of the "lesser" musical biographies I've seen. If you're going to strive for a true musical, like this one does, you have move the audience, and Rocketman simply doesn't. Sure, you get Elton John's life story (with a tragically truncated last 15 mins or so), but there's nothing really compelling about it.
Nothing that a regular fan can sympathize with. I wish they'd have rather just done a straight drama with Talon playing Elton. The "musical" element was lost on my completely.
