About the Show

EXCLUSIVE! It’s ELTON JOHN vs. THE SUN! World’s Biggest Star battles World’s Toughest Tabloid in epic eighties clash!

When The Sun falsely accuses Elton John, 39, of “sordid rent boy sex sessions”, the Rocketman blasts it with a whopping multi-million-pound lawsuit…

But for unrepentant editor Kelvin Mackenzie, 40, “Sorry” seems to be the hardest word. He launches a staggering year-long campaign of media harassment, which could break the Rocker.

In the end: is Elton still standing? Or does the Sun go down on him?

Based on the true story of Britain’s biggest-ever libel suit and performed by Henry Naylor, Monstering the Rocketman was one of the standout shows of 2025’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning the prestigious Fringe First Award and garnering 16 four-star and five-star reviews.

Don’t miss the London premiere of this multi-award-winning sellout smash.
