Elton John Brings Goodbye Yellow Brick Road To Broadway
Elton John will be breaking out his ruby shoes to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by playing it in its entirety on October 20, 2008 at New York City's New Amsterdam Theater. The concert - presented by the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Friends in Deed - will feature a number of special guests. At present, Ben Folds, Rufus Wainwright, Jake Shears of The Scissor Sisters and the casts of Hair and The Lion King.
Putting the steep $179.50/seat prices for Tina Turner's return to Madison Square Garden to shame, the Yellow Brick Road concert will set fans back $2,500 to be on the floor and $500 if they want to perch in the balcony. A healthy portion of the ticket price seems to be going to charity, so its hard to term this as a money grab but the steep cost is surely going to keep the kids away. There truly is no place like home.
