Billy Elliot The Musical is the long-awaited stage version of Stephen
Daldry’s Oscar-winning Brit-flick which makes its West End debut at the
Victoria Palace Theatre.
Set in the North East against the
backdrop of the 1984 miners' strike, Billy Elliot is a funny,
heart-warming and feel-good celebration of one young boy's dream to
become a ballet dancer and triumph over adversity. The original story
captured the hearts of people around the world when the movie was
released in October 2000. This poignant film broke box office records
worldwide and was nominated for a raft of awards including 3 Golden
Globes, 3 Oscars and 13 Baftas.
The original multi-award
winning creative team from the film: director Stephen Daldry, writer
Lee Hall and choreographer Peter Darling are joined by music legend,
Elton John, the most celebrated UK singer song-writer of the last 30
years, to create the most eagerly anticipated musical of the decade.
Please
note that this show is not recommended for children under the age of
eight as it contains strong language and some scenes of stage violence.
