Elton continues to talk about his Broadway musical, 'Tammy Faye'. 

He posted a video on Instagram talking about collaborating with Jake Shears. 

"He knows what works; he knows what doesn't work, so he understands and that brought a hell of a lot of experience to the latter part of our writing in this musical," he said in a video posted on Instagram. 

Elton praised the musical as one that is sure to please those who watch it. 

"It's funny, it's hilarious, it's tragic, it's full of every single emotion you want when you go to theatre."

Jake, on the other hand, also shared his experience working with the legendary singer. 

“It’s such an honor and a pleasure to write with not only one of my heroes, but one of my best friends,” Jake said in the video.
