The theatrical sensation, Billy Elliot the
Musical is coming to Sydney this November!
From the multi-award winning creators of
the smash-hit film Billy Elliot, this sensational stage
adaptation is a funny, feel-good celebration of a young boy's
dreams to be a dancer in a man's
world of hard hats, football boots and boxing gloves.
Set against the historic British miners' strike of the 1980s,
this story follows the journey of a young
boy raised in a small mining town who, after stumbling across
a ballet class while on his way to
a boxing lesson, realises that his future lays not in the
boxing ring, but on stage as a dancer.
Spending his boxing lesson money on ballet
classes, he is secretly taught by the dry-witted, chainsmoking
Mrs Wilkinson, who sees Billy’s raw talent and potential.
But when his father discovers
his son's ambition, Billy must fight for his dreams and his
destiny.
This heart-warming story about a boy's triumph
over adversity has broken box office records in
London since its world premiere in 2005.
With music by Elton John, book and lyrics
by Lee Hall and directed by Stephen Daldry, the show
is a roller-coaster ride of raw and powerful ballads, uplifting
show tunes and a cheeky song or two.
This truly inspiring piece of theatre has won a host of awards,
in London’s West End including
Best Musical at the Olivier Awards and the Evening Standard
Awards, and has critics raving.
Don’t miss this sensational show, premiering
in Australia at Sydney’s Capitol theatre this
November.
