"Based on the smash hit film, Billy Elliot the Musical is an inspirational story of one boy’s dream
to realise his ambitions against the odds.

Set in the North East of England against the background of the historic 1984/85 miners' strike,
Billy pursues his passion for dance in secret to avoid disapproval of his struggling family.

The award-winning creative team behind the film, writer Lee Hall, director Stephen Daldry
and choreographer Peter Darling are joined by the incomparable Sir Elton John to create a musical
that is funny, uplifting and immensely entertaining."
