BILLY ELLIOT: our show in London

We already know a lot about the story because we have watched the film and read extracts of the book.

The Story in the film:

Billy Elliot (Jamie Bell) is a child of eleven years old, the story about his love of dance and his hope to become a professional ballet dancer.

Billy lives with his widowed father, Jackie (Gary Lewis), and older brother, Tony (Jamie Draven), both coal miners out on strike.

Jackie takes Billy to the Sports Centre to learn boxing, but Billy dislikes the sport. One day he sees a ballet lesson taking place. It’s a real eye-opener; not only does he enjoy it but he discovers he has real talent.
