We're looking for guitarists, bassists, drummers/percussionists and keyboardists ages 14-18 to
form a band to back up the actors and singers from ACT's Young Conservatory Theatre presenting this
world premiere musical at Zeum in May 2008.
From ACT's announcement:
This unique theatrical production explores the journey of growing up in word and song, using
Elton John's music as the fabric of the storytelling, including such hits as "Your Song,"
"Don't Let the Sun Go down on Me," "Don't go Breaking My Heart," "Someone Saved My Life Tonight,"
"Bennie and the Jets," "I'm Still Standing" and more. With more than 40 years as a singer/songwriter,
Reginald Kenneth Dwight, known throughout the world as Sir Elton John, has given the world an
astonishing canon of popular music; from haunting ballads to whimsical musical romps, his music has
delighted and moved two generations. More »
Those of you who saw the Sting project last year know what
a great alliance this is and the potential it holds for the serious musician.
