Will there be a statement from the soundtrack to the latest Elton John musical?
The music is not in San Francisco and later in New York. But the soundbites its host presentations and promotions are vintage Elton. Incredible writing, beautiful melodies and moving lyrics. Was there a cast recording? or the possibility of a release through another place?
What was supposed to be issued July 10 but have been postponed until August. There is a risk it will not be released at all, unfortunately. Amazon.com is a good place to see him.
