Billy Elliot description

More than ten years after it was last in London, Billy Elliot the Musical is back.

It feels like no time, but more than a decade has passed since Billy Elliot the Musical last hit the capital. Landing in town for a limited 2027 run at the Adelphi Theatre, the show is a treat for lovers of the Academy Award-winner movie, and for everyone who wants to catch a musical theatre legend in the West End.

Elton John's brilliant production is one of the best-loved musicals, already seen by 12 million or so of us worldwide. It has won over 80 major awards. It has given more than 125 young performers across the world a taste of how it feels to play a magical part on stage. And the story is a cracker, an emotional roller-coaster with a beautiful ending.

Billy lives in a northern town. The 1984–5 miners' strike is in full flow. He decides to follow his passion, hanging up his boxing gloves and secretly learning to dance instead. A life-changing journey begins for him, his family and the community, a delightful plot performed to a famously powerful score with the original 10 Tony Award and 5 Olivier Award-winning creatives on board.

Book and lyrics are by Lee Hall. The musical is Directed by Stephen Baldry (Stranger Things: The First Shadow). We have Choreography by Peter Darling, Scenic design by Ian MacNeil, Costume design by Nicky Gillibrand, Lighting design by Rick Fisher, Sound design by Paul Arditti and Musical supervision and orchestrations by Martin Koch. The Casting Director is Jessica Ronane.

Experience Billy Elliot the Musical in the West End for a feel-good story about one boy's journey from boxing to ballet, challenging society, inspiring change and bringing joy.
