Candle in the wings

Elton John to invest in stage shows, reports the Sunday Times on January 25, 2015.

Elton is teaming up with the theatre company Old Vic Productions to create a £10m venture to develop new stage shows. His company Rocket Pictures will own 75% of the vehicle, called Rocket Stage. The rest will be held by Old Vic Productions, which will invest £2.5m in the next three years. Five projects are in the works, including one featuring old and new Elton John songs.

Rocket Stage will also have the rights to turn movies made by Rocket Pictures into theatrical shows.

Old Vic Productions, which is distinct from the Old Vic theatre in Waterloo, is preparing a £3.5m fundraising. As well as investing in Rocket Stage, it is working on other new shows, such as a musical based on Enid Blyton’s Famous Five stories.
