Billy Elliot the Musical to return with Northern UK tour ahead of West End run
THE AWARD-WINNING GLOBAL PHENOMENON RETURNS
Seen by nearly 12 million people and winner of more than 80 awards worldwide, Billy Elliot the Musical returns to London and the UK for the first time in ten years.
Set during the 1984/5 miners’ strike, the story follows Billy as he swaps the boxing ring for the ballet studio and discovers a passion that changes his life forever. Featuring music by Elton John and created by the award-winning team behind the film, this beloved British musical is a funny, moving and unforgettable celebration of courage, community and the transformative power of art.
This is the musical that took the nation by surprise and went on to conquer the world. Praised as ‘Breathtaking. A dazzling 40-carat gem of a show’ (Daily Mail), ‘Dazzling. A triumph’ (Independent on Sunday) and ‘Pure magic’ (Sunday Express), Billy Elliot the Musical returns as exhilarating, hilarious and unforgettable as ever, a defining British production finally coming home.
