Billy Elliot
The Musical
All 11-year-old Billy wants to do is dance. While the 1984 miners’ strike squeezes his family and splits his town, Billy’s passion for ballet first divides, then ultimately unites, the community—and changes his life in extraordinary ways.
Based on the powerful and acclaimed film, Billy Elliot swept the Tony, Drama Desk, and Olivier awards for Best Musical, by combining a dynamic score by the legendary Elton John with sensational dance to create a heartwarming, inspirational and triumphant experience for the entire family.

We have two very talented casts of young performers who will take the stage for Billy Elliot: that’s two boys playing Billy and two young performer ensembles taking the stage. We’ve nicknamed them the “Bennies” and the “Jets.” Click the link below to see a calendar of when each cast will perform.
