West End musical adaptation of the 2000 film of the same name set in County Durham during the 1984 miners' strike. Young Billy Elliot (Elliott Hanna) becomes fascinated with the ballet lessons which are being held in the same hall as his boxing class. The ballet teacher, Mrs Wilkinson (Ruthie Henshall), recognises his potential and encourages him to join her class. It soon becomes clear that Billy has the talent and skill necessary to attend the Royal Ballet School in London, but his father (Deka Walmsley) is vehemently opposed to the idea. That coupled with the extreme poverty which descends on the area during the strike means that Billy's future is far from certain.
