Based on the Academy Award® nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical has won the
hearts of millions since it opened in London's West End in 2005. Set in a northern
mining town, against the background of the 1984/85 miners' strike, Billy's journey takes
him out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for
dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever. The
original creative team behind the film, including writer Lee Hall (book & lyrics), director
Stephen Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, is joined by music legend Elton John
(music) to produce a funny, uplifting and spectacular theatrical experience that will stay
with you forever.
