Billy Elliot

What is Billy Elliot the Musical about?

Set amidst the increasingly bitter 1984/85 miners’ strike, BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL is a tale of determination, acceptance and daring to be different. In a close-knit community where family and tradition means everything, can Billy forge a new destiny and follow his passion?
