...there are songs too - good ones by Elton John, with lyrics by Lee Hall, who wrote the original film - but they are so tightly woven into the action that you almost hate to single them out. There are anthem-like chorus numbers and vaudeville throwbacks, political drinking songs ("Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher") and those with simple, John Lennon-like lyricism. But all of them seem utterly fresh and inseparable from the story they enliven and enhance. The show's centerpiece, of course, is Billy's dancing, which ranges from tap numbers to classical ballet, as well as a striking...
