Jess Robinson Brings Elton John-Inspired Show to Soho Theatre and Edfringe

This summer, Elton John's greatest hits are reimagined in a brand new show from multi-award-winning, pitch-perfect impressionist Jess Robinson (Dead Ringers, The Last Leg). Celebrating Elton through the voices of iconic women including Britney, Barbra, Amy, Your Song is the new hour coming to London's Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Jess said “I've always loved Elton John's music. As a songwriter, his catalogue is unmatched, and his songs are timeless. I'm proud that my shows have always appealed to a wide range of people; not only plenty of women on hen nights and the LGBTQ+ community, but people of all ages, and I think Elton's music truly represents that - he's still totally current, collaborating with artists like Dua Lipa and Britney Spears, introducing his music to new generations, while still being a legend for those who've been listening to him for years. 

I want to celebrate Elton while presenting his songs through a female lens and channelling some of my favourite stars. It's been exciting to imagine how it would sound if Amy Winehouse were to interpret ‘Candle in the Wind' or if Judy Garland were to sing ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'. If anyone can turn ‘Crocodile Rock' into a dance floor anthem it's Lady Gaga, and who wouldn't want to hear ‘The Bitch is Back' as a Bassey Bond theme?! The possibilities are almost endless so you'll have to come and see the show to find out which combinations I've settled on!  It's going to be huge fun, totally camp, very funny, and at times poignant.”
