Billy Elliot Musical To Return

It first pirouetted its way into our hearts on the big screen, and is now dancing its way back to London with dates, venue and specific location be announced. Billy Elliot: The Musical brings to life the heart-warming tale of a young working-class kid who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. The only catch? He's a boy!

What Is Billy Elliot About?

Eleven-year old Billy lives in a deprived town in North East England, a place where a man's role includes boxing, mining, drinking beer, and certainly not something like dancing. But poor Billy can't help but feel drawn to the art form when he happens to watch a ballet class after one of his boxing lessons.

Brought up by a single father and older brother without a mother's touch, Billy does not want to box, but is enthralled by ballet when he watches the class taught by the brash, but big-hearted Sandra Wilkinson. With steely determination, he attempts to prove his father, brother and community wrong by becoming a dancer with infinite promise.

An Audience Favourite

Since it premiered in the West End in 2005, the production has been enjoyed by millions of fans and been taken on tour around the world, including Australia, Canada, the USA and even South Korea!

Billy Elliot: The Musical reunited the team behind the award-winning 2000 film - director Stephen Daldry, writer Lee Hall, choreographer Peter Darling, and producer Jon Finn. With the addition of Sir Elton John's musical mastery, Stephen Daldry is set to return to direct.
