Photograph by Elton John has, over five decades, achieved an amazingly successful track record in Richard Mushet. the music industry. He was not only the biggest-selling pop superstar of the 1970s, Image appears under the but, more surprisingly, he continues to retain popularity among his fans and respect Creative Commons from music critics. Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license. Elton John holds a music industry record for most consecutive singles placed in the Top 40, a string that began in 1970 and was broken only in 2000. Stephen Erlewine has noted that, although Elton John has endured temporary slumps in creativity and sales, he continues to craft contemporary pop standards that showcase his musical versatility. John's combination of melodic skills, dynamic charisma, and raucous performance style has made him a remarkably popular musical artist. Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on March 25, 1947. Dwight began playing piano at age four and, when he was eleven, won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London. After six years at school, he left in order to break into the music business. In 1961 he joined his first band, Bluesology, but left in 1966 because of creative differences with bandleader Long John Baldry. During this time Dwight had answered a Liberty Records advertisement for songwriters; and, though he failed the vocal audition, he was given a stack of lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, a young songwriter from Lincolnshire who had also answered the ad.

We’re so glad you could join us! Musical theater is a unique American creation. It’s also a joyful mixture of song and story, and, since 1945, Dallas Summer Musicals has brought the finest musicals to Dallas. Want to know what goes into making a musical? Just two simple ingredients: singing and acting (song and story). There’s just something about a song that makes a story mean more than just regular speech. It touches us in a different way. Whether a show uses classical music or rock, a musical uses music to tell its story, to suggest feelings, emotions, and attitudes. As long as it mixes song and story, musical theater can be about literally anything, and this season’s shows are great examples of the wide range of subjects. From the blockbuster musical Wicked to the sweeping epic of Camelot, each production reveals a different aspect of what makes musical theater so special. The story of Dallas Summer Musicals is a long and honored one, and by learning about and attending one of our shows, you are now part of that story too! Sincerely, Michael A.
