Never-Before-Seen Items, Rare Stage Costumes from Elton's Private
Collection On Public Exhibit for Limited 12-Day NYC Engagement
In Conjunction with the opening of Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures'
LESTAT-The MUSICAL
NEW YORK, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Time Warner Inc. is proud to
present "Sir Elton John - Elements of an Icon," a public exhibition of the
extravagance, the unforgettable showman, the visual exuberance, and the
one- of-a-kind contribution to pop music and culture that is Sir Elton
John. Elton John fans and music enthusiasts are invited to visit Time
Warner Center as it is transformed into a hip retro lounge -- the perfect
environment for this truly original and must-see exhibition. The public
space overlooking Central Park and Columbus Circle will be filled with an
exceptional array of Elton John's fabulously unique feathered, sequined,
and bejeweled stage wardrobe that has been the signature style statement of
this pop music icon's illustrious career.
The never-before-seen collection will be open to the public from April
18 through April 30, exclusively at Time Warner Center in New York. This
very special event coincides with the opening of the much-anticipated
Broadway musical LESTAT - Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures' inaugural
production of a show inspired by Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles" and
featuring the first theatrical score from the legendary songwriting team of
Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
The "Elements of an Icon" exhibit will be displayed throughout Time
Warner Center. The second floor of the complex will present Elton John's
dazzling costumes, imagery and accessories -- most notably, the signature
oversized glasses and floor-to-ceiling posters that illustrate Elton John's
legendary career. The focal point of the exhibit will feature the artist's
red lacquer grand piano, which is synonymous with the musician himself.
Costumes from the original San Francisco performance of LESTAT will be
showcased on the first floor of Time Warner Center, while on the fourth
floor, artwork by Golden Globe Award-winning lyricist Bernie Taupin will be
available for visitors to view.
The exhibit will run Tuesday, April 18 through Sunday, April 30.
Viewing hours are 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. - 7
