Rocket Man – Das Elton John Biopical
Deutsches Theater München presents an event organised by COFO Entertainment
Elton John turns 80
Flashy outfits, an unmistakable voice and a piano: just in time for his milestone birthday, Sir Elton John is also getting his own tribute show. Rocket Man impressively combines biographical drama with moving concert moments. The biopic will come to Munich for the first time in 2027.
The Life of a Star
Defining moments, such as the legendary performances at the Troubadour or Madison Square Garden, are brought back to life. But Rocket Man also reveals the personal highs and lows behind the fame. The show features global hits such as ‘Your Song’, ‘Candle in the Wind’ and ‘I’m Still Standing’ – performed live by a top-class rock band. Elaborate projections, authentic costumes and a rousing concert atmosphere combine to create an extraordinary stage show. Yet behind the glitz, glamour and global hits lies, above all, the story of a man: a moving journey between self-discovery and self-doubt, between fame, a deep fall from grace and the courageous path back to life.
Music with charisma
The internationally acclaimed musician and Elton John impersonator C.J. Marvin shines as the lead performer in his extravagant costumes. Before one of his concerts, Elton John himself was able to see C.J. in action. His verdict: “You’re the best Elton I’ve ever heard!” Elton John once summed up his own passion for music as follows: “I live, eat, sleep, breathe music.” It is precisely this extraordinary musical energy that lies at the heart of Rocket Man. The show aims to convey why his music continues to radiate such charisma to this day. Elton John’s work bridges generations and achieves something that few artists manage: songs that are born of their time yet remain timeless. We invite you not only to listen to Elton John’s music, but to experience it anew together.
Saturday: 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm
