Boasting a Tony Award and an Olivier Award for Best Musical, Billy Elliot is based on the 2000 international smash-hit film and features a score by music legend Sir Elton John. From the bleak, muggy streets of northern England to the bright stage lights of a London stage and a brighter tomorrow, Billy Elliot tells the inspirational story of a boy’s desire to express himself through dance and about the power of being true to yourself, the unity of family and the coming together of a community during the UK miners’ strike in 1984.
