Billy Elliot The Musical at Bob Carr Orlando

BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL is a joyous celebration of one young boy’s journey to make his dreams come true. Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL “THE MOST INSPIRING SHOW I’VE SEEN IN YEARS.” Set in a small town, the story follows Billy as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering a surprising passion that inspires his family and his whole community. A big musical with an even bigger heart, BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL will enchant the dreamer in all of us.

The cast of Billy Elliot the Musical

Based on the international smash-hit film, BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL is brought to life by a phenomenal cast and the Tony Award®-winning creative team -- director Stephen Daldry, choreographer Peter Darling and writer Lee Hall -- along with music legend Elton John, who has written what the New York Post calls "HIS BEST SCORE YET!"
