Elton John and Lee Hall’s spectacular, multi-Tony Award-winning smash-hit musical 'Billy Elliot' completely revolutionized the modern commercial stage landscape, opening at the Imperial Theatre in 2008 and running for 1,312 performances. Based on the acclaimed 2000 film, the emotionally massive narrative unfolds against the brutal, violent backdrop of the 1984 northern English miners' strike, tracking an impoverished eleven-year-old boy who trades his boxing gloves for ballet slippers, fighting a wall of working-class bigotry to realize his genius. Directed by Stephen Daldry with visceral choreography by Peter Darling, this production remains an absolute triumph of contemporary family spectacle.
