Based on the Academy Award® nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical has won the hearts of millions since it opened in London in 2005.

Set in a northern mining town, against the background of the 1984/85 miners’ strike, 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.

The creative team behind the film is joined by music legend Elton John to produce a funny, uplifting and spectacular theatrical experience.
