An Inspirational Story at the Victoria PalaceBased closely on the Oscar-nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical tells the inspirational story of one boy's dream to realise his ambitions against the odds. Set in the North East of England against the grim background of the 1984/85 miners' strike, Billy pursues his passion for dance in secret to avoid disapproval of his struggling family. The show features music by Elton John and a book and lyrics by screenwriter Lee Hall. It has won four Lawrence Olivier Awards including Best New Musical and Best Choreography. |
