Sir Elton John will be among the performers at The Speaking Clock Revue, a benefit for The Participant Foundation, to be held on October 20 at the Beacon Theatre.
The concert will also feature musical performances by Gregg Allman, Jeff Bridges, Elvis Costello, Karen Elson, Jim James, John Mellencamp, Leon Russell, Ralph Stanley, the Punch Brothers, and the Secret Sisters.
John is currently represented on Broadway by his scores for Billy Elliot and The Lion King. He received the Tony Award for his score to Aida, and also wrote the score for Lestat. In addition, he was one of the producers of the Broadway play, Next Fall.
One of the world’s most successful singer-songwriters, his many hits include “Your Song,” “Daniel,” “Benny and the Jets,” “Philadelphia Freedom,” and “Crocodile Rock.” His most recent CD, The Union, a collobaration with Leon Russell, was released last month.
