Billy Elliot features music by Elton John, book and lyrics by Lee Hall, and is based on the Universal Pictures/Studio Canal Film. Billy is a coal miner's son in northern England. With his father out on strike, the Elliot family is falling apart. Billy's life is forever changed when he stumbles out of a boxing ring and into a ballet class. He trades in his gloves for slippers and discovers a passion for dance that inspires and unites the entire town. Billy Elliot is the triumphant story of a young boy's fight to heal his family and chase his dreams! The play is rated Theatre PG because it contains some adult language and situations.
