Billy Elliot The Musical

In a County Durham mining town during the 1984 miners’ strike, eleven-year-old Billy discovers a talent for ballet after wandering into a dance class instead of boxing practice. Encouraged by teacher Mrs Wilkinson, he pursues a future that challenges his family’s expectations and offers hope amid hardship.

With music by Elton John and a book and lyrics by Lee Hall, Billy Elliot The Musical combines intimate family drama with exhilarating dance and a powerful portrait of a community under pressure. The original award-winning production returns to London with its story of determination, self-expression and the courage to be different.
