Aida - part one

In 1996 Tim and Elton, following their success with The Lion King movie, embarked upon the creation of an original Broadway show entitled Aida, which Verdi had had a go at 125 years earlier. Despite trials and tribulations, the show made it to Broadway four years later and ran for four and a half years, earning them both Tonys for best score, and has since played in more than 25 countries. Featuring the extraordinary voices of Heather Headley and Sir Elton himself, Get Onto My Cloud 8 tells just part of the story of this unusual and highly original show. More Aida no doubt in podcasts to come.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
