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.
