Billy Elliot has been running at the beautiful
Victoria
Palace Theatre for 6 years and as winner of
10 Tony Awards in 2009, including
Best Musical, it is still one of the hot
London theatre
tickets.
The musical tells the story of
Billy who discovers a passion
for dancing but meets with resistance from his family. He finds an ally in
Mrs
Wilkinson, a dance school teacher who, once spotting his natural talent, persuades
him to audition for the Royal Ballet School. Cleverly weaved alongside this is
the story of how Billy’s’ family and the whole community are affected by the Miners’
strike of 1984/1985. When discovering Billy’s “hobby” his Dad and brother
initially see it as an unwelcome distraction in the midst of the conflict, but
eventually bring everyone together so that Billy can seize this “once in a
lifetime” opportunity.
The shows’ music was created by Elton John with lyrics from
Lee Hall. The choreography by Peter Darling, is fabulous and features a
wonderful and funny dance sequence by
Billy and
Michael. The whole cast give superb performances night
after night with regular fantastic lead performances from
Scott McKenzie as
Billy,
Martin Marquez as his Dad and
Connor Kelly as his best friend
Michael.
This show has you roaring with laughter in one breath to
holding back the tears the next and is definitely one not to be missed!
