Billy Elliot Musical

Billy Elliot musical London

Billy Elliot is the story of a motherless young boy whose father wants him to take up boxing. Instead, Billy discovers a love and talent for ballet that leads him from secret lessons to an audition at the Royal Ballet School.

 Set in the fictional town of 'Everington' in the real County Durham, in the North East of England, Billy Elliot is the celebration of one young boy’s dream. The film is set during the UK miners' strike between 1984 and 1985 with the story focussing on the coming of age of a young boy. He experiences a love for dance and wishes to embark on a career that is initially against his father's wishes. Billy embarks on a journey through a world of picket lines and family problems.

His ballet school shares the local hall with the boxing club and Billy is drawn into a world where he can realise his dreams. Meanwhile, Billy's father and older brother, who are both on strike against the Thatcher driven government, struggle to put food on the table.

 They finally explode when they discover Billy has been wasting his boxing money on less than manly pursuits. Billy's ballet teacher persuades him to accept free tuition in order for him to audition for the Royal Ballet. When the audition comes Billy is tragically forced to miss it as a result of his brother's fight with the police.

Distraught by his family's lack of understanding, Billy unleashes his feelings in a dance meant only for his friend Michael to see. He is seen by his father who is amazed by the power and animation of his son's talent. With much internal torment he strives to ensure Billy finally makes it to London for the audition.

This original story captured the hearts of people around the world when the movie was released in October 2000. This moving film broke box office records worldwide and was nominated for a number of awards.

Music by Elton John

Winner at Olivier Awards and Evening Standard Awards.
