The reviews by both the critics and the audience have been outstanding!
Billy Elliot has often been touted as the best new Broadway show in the last 10 years.
There is a reason that Billy Elliot won 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Choreography, and Best Actor in a Musical. Music superstar, Elton John, wrote the music for the Broadway show. Some critics feel that this is the best musical score that Elton John has ever done.
Billy Elliot is the story of a young boy growing up in County Durham in northern England during the mid-1980's. It contrasts the tough , working-class world that is enduring a miner's strike with the peaceful escape that Billy experiences during ballet class.
Billy is the youngest child of this hard working mining family that recently lost its mother. While Billy's brother and father take to the violent picket lines, Billy secretly takes dance lessons with a local dance teacher.
As the world around him continues to deteriorate, Billy continues his dancing and begins to shine. His only hope to pursue dancing may be with the Royal Ballet School, which is a a place that no working-class boy has been allowed to go before.
Basically, it is about a British boy growing up in a mining community where his father wants him to box and Billy wants to be a ballet dancer.
