Set in the North East of England Billy Elliot The Musical is a funny, heart-warming and feel-good celebration of one boy’s dreams set against the historic British miners’ strike of 1984/85.
The story follows the journey of a young boy raised in a small mining town who, after stumbling across a ballet class while on his way to a boxing lesson, realises that his future lies not in the boxing ring, but on stage as a dancer.
Directed by Stephen Daldry, with music by Sir Elton John, Billy Elliot The Musical opened in London in May 2005 to extraordinary reviews. It has broken UK box office records and is still playing to capacity houses at the Victoria Palace Theatre.
‘The greatest British musical I’ve ever seen’ - Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
