Billy Elliot the Musical Returns to London
Seen by almost 12 million people across five continents and winner of more than 80 awards, Billy Elliot the Musical is one of the most successful British musicals of all time.
The production first opened in London's West End in 2005, where it enjoyed a hugely successful run. Now, after ten years away from London, Billy Elliot is coming home to the West End for a limited 25 week season.
About Billy Elliot The Musical
Set against the backdrop of the miners' strike of 1984 and 1985, the musical tells the story of Billy, a young boy growing up in a northern mining community.
Billy is encouraged by his father to take up boxing, but when he discovers a ballet class taking place nearby, he becomes fascinated by the dancers and secretly begins taking lessons. His natural talent soon becomes clear, but pursuing his dream is far from easy.
As Billy's passion for dance grows, he must overcome opposition from his family and the expectations of his community. With the support of those around him, he begins to pursue his ambition of becoming a professional ballet dancer.
With dazzling dance routines choreographed by Peter Darling, a fantastic score by Sir Elton John and a book and lyrics by Lee Hall, Billy Elliot promises an entertaining and moving London theatre experience.
