Description

For his second Broadway musical (and first time out writing a full show directly for the stage), Elton Johncertainly set his sights high by turning to one of the grandest of alloperas as a source. His continued collaboration with lyricist Tim Rice has produced a work far closer to the agreeable pop style and formula of the team's Disney musical, The Lion King, than to the majesty and tragic passion of Verdi's opera. But the compelling tale of conflicting loyalties and star-crossed lovers--retooled in part by acclaimed playwright David Henry Hwang--inspiressome of John's signature melodic felicity, as in "Elaborate Lives" and"Every Story Is a Love Story." And the original cast recording marks adramatic leap forward from 1999's dreary mishmash studio concept album, thanks to the heat generated by Heather Headley and Rent star Adam Pascal as the forbidden lovers. Sherie René Scottcan turn on a dime from a parodic stance ("My Strongest Suit") to sadresignation ("I Know the Truth"), while the three get to blend in theensemble "A Step Too Far"--a pop counterpart to the intensity ofoperatic ensemble. The score touches on reggae and gospel, and onall-out rock balladry (where it's fun to hear Pascal clearly imitatingJohn's characteristic vocal inflections), but it's most touching in themore reflective moments given to Headley's dignified Nubian princess. --Thomas May
