Yes, totally over the top, but what would one expect from Sir Elton in sin city? As a fan 'from a distance' (for lack of better way to describe the fact that I've always appreciated his music but never owned any), I forgot how prolific the man is. Try and sit on stage left so you are facing Elton. He possesses great talent and is a treat to experience. I had the opportunity to see the 200th show -- we were given boas on our way in to celebrate.
I will agree - the production going on around Elton and the bad is a bit overwhelming, but we chalked it up to the Vegas factor. Some of the imagery is quite disturbing, but some is just over the top funny. The cameos are good. Who knew Pam Anderson really isn't that talented on the pole?
Note to parents: When you see signs indicating there is adult content/intended for mature audiences, particularly in LAS VEGAS, that might be a not so subtle hint to leave the kids at home. SERIOUSLY! Being granted the title of Sir can't take the raunch factor out of the man.
