"Rocketman" -- (May 31) -- Elton John gets a slightly different kind of biographical treatment than "Bohemian Rhapsody" in this jukebox musical, which uses the rock star's songs to tell the story of his life, including dealing with his sexuality and a whole lot of drug use. Taron Egerton disappears into the role of John, with Jamie Bell as his lyricist partner Bernie Taupin and Richard Madden ("Game of Thrones") as John's manager and (for a time) love interest, John Reid.
