Billy Elliot The Musical
ON SALE NOW!
Billy Elliot The Musical is coming to Melbourne. Based on the film of the same name, Billy Elliot is the gritty, funny and heart-warming tale of a young boy with a dream, and a celebration of his triumph against the odds. Set against the historic British miners' strike of 1984-85, the story follows Billy's journey as a boy in a small mining town who, after stumbling across a ballet class on his way to boxing lessons, realises that his future lies not in the boxing ring, but on stage as a dancer.
Directed by Stephen Daldry, with book and lyrics by Lee Hall, Billy Elliot was developed for the stage by the same multi-award winning creative team responsible for the film. The score was composed by music legend, Elton John.
Praise for the Australian production, which opened at Sydney's Capitol Theatre in November 2007.
"Joyously entertaining, Billy Elliot bursts into starry-eyed showbiz magic ... A rapturous pinnacle of self-expression and fulfilment." The Sydney Morning Herald
"Billy Elliot will knock your socks off." Daily Telegraph (Sydney)
"Billy Elliot sweeps its audience away. Resistance is useless." The Australian
"A show that moves, entertains and enthrals its audience so completely, it defies normal rules." Sunday Mail (Adelaide)
This is truly one of the most glorious and up-lifting theatrical experiences you will ever have. DON'T MISS IT!
