Billy Elliot - London

In 2004, the creative team - director Stephen Daldry, writer Lee Hall and choreographer Peter Darling - got together again to create a musical version of the film. The music for Billy Elliot the Musical comes from singer-songwriter legend Elton John.

Billy is born in a northern town where men box and work in the mines. They do not dance and they certainly do not harbour ambitions of attending the Royal Ballet School. But Billy is a bit different. Brought up by a single father, without a mother's touch, Billy does not want to fight, but is enthralled by the grace and wonder of ballet. With gritty determination he attempts to prove the doubters wrong by going all the way.
