Believe it or not, it’s been nearly 15 years since Billy Elliot hit UK cinemas when it was released on September 2000. To mark the occasion, cinemas across the UK will be broadcasting a performance of Billy Elliot The Musical live from London’s West End. Various boys who have played Billy will be on hand on the night of the performance playing the iconic role once again and no doubt it’s going to be quite an experience!
Billy Elliot the Musical has been running since 2005 and has gone through a total of 37 boys in the title role! More as we get it but we hear there could be some more surprises as we lead up to the big day on September 28th. Keep your eyes peeled for more.
Set in a northern mining town, against the background of the 1984/’85 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy’s struggle against the odds to make his dream come true. Billy’s journey takes him out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever.
