A night of flamboyant costumes, rhinestone-studded sunglasses and crocodile rock awaits when "Fantastic: A Tribute to Elton John featuring 'Even Stephen'" hits Shriver Hall Auditorium at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, on the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus, 3400 N. Charles St. in Baltimore.

Billed as one of the best celebrity impersonators in the world, Stephen 'Even Stephen' Sorrentino will assume the dress, mannerisms, and piano and vocal style of Elton John, accompanied by a classic rock band. Their show features special effects and musical adaptations of John's work, including a tribute to Marilyn Monroe during John's well-known song for Monroe, "Candle in the Wind."

Through it all, Sorrentino will cover John's classic rock anthems like "Take Me to the Pilot," "Your Song," "The Bitch is Back," and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting."
