"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" anniversary show
Saturday, September 13 2008

It was kind of suspicious to see Elton add three shows with the band on the East coast for mid October 2008. This usually happens when there is some bigger show to rehearse.

BT DMA07 People\'s Choice Nominee - Vote for me!And now we know what that special show is all about: Elton and friends are to give a unique benefit performance in New York on October 20, 2008. The concert will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF), Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA), and Friends in Deed and it will take place exactly 35 years after the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was released in the US.

During the show, which will take place in the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York (which formerly hosted "The Lion King"), Elton and his band will be joined by Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds, Jane Krakowski, Stew, Joey Arias, Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, the casts of "Hair" and "The Lion King", and others. They will perform all seventeen songs from the album.

Sponsored by American Express, American Airlines, and Grey Goose, the show will be produced by Broadway veteran Jeffrey Seller, (Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights).

Tickets ranging from $500-$2,500 will go on sale September 13, 2008 for American Express card holders, and on September 22, 2008 for the general public. Tickets can be purchased by calling +1-212-307-4100 or by visiting Ticketmaster.
