Billy Elliot is Electrifying

Need a reason to buy tickets for Billy Elliot on Broadway? It’s electricity! Billy, a boy who grows to love ballet as an escape from his motherless life in a coal-mining town, eloquently transitions from screen to stage. The show in its entirety is engaging through emotional and visual stimulation; it is intriguing and full of electricity as is the boy himself. All of the boys that alternate playing Billy bring a different dimension to the role. Although they are young actors and dancers themselves, they have stretched themselves in order to portray the yearning inside of the dancing boy. The yearning to express himself and find himself amongst the macho men he is surrounded by.

The scene is Northern England in a community and industry utterly devastated by the Thatcher government, a scene that resonates all too well with the current American economic state. Just like the town that Billy lives in, a community once dependent on blue and white collar jobs, certain towns in America are becoming ghost towns. The loss of jobs and loss of revenue are apparent in every aspect of life. Billy’s desire and drive to becoming a dancer resembles the drive of some struggling towns; a boy achieving his dream in a time when many are afraid to dream at all. It emits a bittersweet happy-ending feeling no matter where the audience comes from. Don’t hesitate! Get your Billy Elliot Broadway tickets today.
