"What the hell is wrong with expressing yourself, what we need is individuality"
Billy Elliot - The Story
Billy is born in a northern town where men box and work in the mines. They do not dance and they certainly do not harbour ambitions of attending the Royal Ballet School. But Billy is a bit different. Brought up by a single father, without a mother's touch, Billy does not want to fight, but is enthralled by the grace and wonder of ballet. With gritty determination he attempts to prove doubters
wrong by becoming a professional ballet dancer.
Billy Elliot
The West End musical reunites the team behind the award wining 2000 film - director Stephen Daldry, writer Lee Hall, choreographer Peter Darling and producer Jon Finn and the musical mastery of Sir Elton John help to turn the highly acclaimed film into an all singing, all dancing stage spectacular.
In a case of life-imitating-art, the boys who play Billy and his best friend came from over 3000 who attended open auditions, trying to realise their dream of performing in the West End. As a result, those who auditioned successfully and those who will replace them are trained at the newly opened Billy Elliot School, the only multi-discipline school of its kind in the North of England.
"The show was fantastic... it would appeal to a wide audience. The music, set and costumes worked really well "
