Tales of heartbreak and hope, of pain and passion, of first loves and final moments, weave through Elton John’s iconic songbook in this return season of the 2021 Matilda Award-winning smash hit production.
Your Song celebrates the unforgettable music of megastar Elton John and the memorable moments it evokes for everyday people, reimagining Elton’s biggest songs including “Candle in the Wind”, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, “I’m Still Standing”, “Benny and the Jets” and “Tiny Dancer” using powerful stories and personal experiences shared by real-life people.
Deftly fusing these intimate associations with Elton’s worldwide hits is a powerhouse cast including; Andy Cook (Moulin Rouge, Chicago), Marcus Corowa (Bran Nue Dae, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Luke Kennedy (There’s Something About Music, Swing on This) and Irena Lysiuk (The Sunshine Club, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves), backed by a live band featuring Mik Easterman (drums), Michael Manikus (keys), OJ Newcomb (bass) and Stephen Ward (guitar).

Your Song premiered at Judith Wright Arts Centre, Brisbane in April 2021.
A wonderful fun-filled and joyous celebration of Elton John’s extraordinary body of work, made more pertinent by personal stories, and delivered with aplomb by a phenomenally talented group of singers and musicians...It should certainly not be missed.
