Don’t miss your chance to see one of the hottest shows on Broadway! This show is a funny, heartwarming tale of a young boy with a dream, and a celebration of his triumph against the odds. Set against the historic British miners’ strike of the 1980’s the story follows Billy’s journey as a boy in a small mining town who, after stumbling across a ballet class while on his way to a boxing lesson, realizes that his future lay not in the boxing ring, but on stage as a dancer. A big musical with an even bigger heart, Billy Elliot will enchant the dreamer in all of us.
