One of Britain's most successful films ever gets a stage makeover with music added by legendary tunester Sir 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 doubters wrong by going all the way.

Billy Elliot – The Musical reunites the team behind the award-wining 2000 film – director Stephen Daldry, writer Lee Hall, choreographer Peter Darling and producer Jon Finn – and adds to that the musical mastery of Sir Elton John, to turn the highly acclaimed film into an all-singing, all-dancing stage spectacular.

In a case of life-imitating-art-imitating-life, the boys who play Billy and his best friend came from over 3000 who attended open auditions, trying to realise their dream of performing in the West End. As a result, those who auditioned successfully and those who will replace them are trained at the newly opened Billy Elliot School, the only multi-discipline school of its kind in the North of England.
