‘Rocketman’ director Dexter Fletcher’s next biopic could focus on The Clash

A lot of Broadway, a little rock ‘n’ roll and some Dolly Parton: You’ll hear all that and more when “Glee” guest star Ali Stroker performs Feb. 28 as part of Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series.

Michael Pena has had a week to remember. It began by hitting the winning putt for Team Tiger Woods at the Celebrity Cup alongside Alex Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson and Chris Pratt to the release of his new film Fantasy Island on February 14.

It’s a logical comparison: “Rocketman” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” are both biopics about British rock stars whose careers launched in the 1970s — Elton John and late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, respectively — and both were directed by Dexter Fletcher. So we had to ask the latest Academy Award winner for his thoughts.

The film will be projected onto a huge ultra-HD screen with an orchestra on stage
