The last 30 minutes though were terrific. And, as mentioned earlier, Kenny was drowned out by the 2nd and 3rd mates on several numbers. Sitting in row 3, my partner and I mentioned on several occasions that we needed blinders almost as much as ear plugs.
Why dress these guys in such cheap attire? Again, what was 'Elton' in that? More sadly this detracted from the great skills of these men as it was hard to focus on the music. Equally unpleasant was the choreography and expressive gyrations of the lead quitar, whose wig was comical at first but devolved into hideous and weird.
I t did not resemble anything 'Elton' that I could remember and seemed to go on like a heavy traffic pattern of large trucks. The show got progressively better as we were almost ready to leave during the tedious, vulgarly loud and oppressive introit. Kenny was fine, though the robust drumming and guitar back up too often drowned out Kenny s vocals and his fine skills with the piano.
