Lisa Martland, “ Billy Elliot the Musical Live – review of DVD and Blu-ray release,” Musical Theatre Review(Dec 9, 2014), In May 2016, the Grandstreet Theatre in Helena, Montana, became the first American, non-professional theatre company to stage this musical. [62] Billy Elliot: The Musical is a coming-of-age stage musical based on the 2000 film of the same name. The music is by Elton John, and the book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film's screenplay. The plot revolves around Billy, a motherless British boy who begins taking ballet lessons. The story of his personal struggle and fulfilment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the 1984–85 UK miners' strike in County Durham, in North East England. Hall's screenplay was inspired in part by A. J. Cronin's 1935 novel about a miners' strike, The Stars Look Down, to which the musical's opening song pays homage. [1]On 1 June 2016 Billy Elliot premiered in Israel at City Hall theater in Cinema City Gelilot Complex. Billy was alternately played by Arnon Herring and Shon Granot-Zilbershtein. The main cast included Daphna Dekel as Mrs. Wilkinson, Avi Kushnir as Billy's father, Oshri Cohen as Tony and Dina Doron as Billy's grandmother. The role of Michael was alternately played by Sahar Lev-Shomer, TimoTi Sannikov and Amit Brenner. The role of Debbie was alternately played by Naya Federman, Sasha Bezrukov and Maya Mintz.

Daldry fills in some of those gaps with over 30 minutes of deleted footage for which he also provides commentary. "The biggest sacrifice we made to time and length was the character of Tony [Jamie Draven]," says the director. "In these deleted scenes he has much more depth and sympathy." Of course Tony is Billy's macho older brother who is indeed more likeable as he's seen hauling Billy in tow on a night-time coal raid and to spy on a girl he fancies. In a section of extended scenes, you'll also find a subplot involving Billy's grandmother (Jean Heywood) who causes all sorts of strife when she goes walkabout.

Archived from the original on 7 August 2010.Within the social context of the 1984–85 miner's strike, Billy Elliot's personal struggle to continue dancing is contrasted powerfully to choreographed violence due to the strike. The repetition of 'solidarity forever' is an empowering musical motif to represent the perceived power of the miners union. [76] The message of strength in unity is assisted by emotive and colloquial lyrics, producing audience affect as the empowered everyday working men fight ardently against the British government. [77] However the eventual fall of the worker's strike suggests that class differences are inevitable, yet there remains an allusion to strength despite this loss of power. [78] Ultimately Billy's passion for dance remains empowering enough to allow his movement to a middle class education.

In the early stages of watching new release Billy Elliot the Musical Live (recorded on Sunday 28 September this year when the show was broadcast live from the West End to cinemas across the UK and around the world), I wasn’t convinced it was going to be worth staying the distance. What was watching this recording of the show going to add to my experience of having already seen it a number of times at the Victoria Palace? Even the camerawork appeared to be setting too far a distance between the viewer at home and the action onstage. In July and August 2022 a completely new UK production was presented at the Curve, Leicester. The revival, by the theatre's artistic director Nikolai Foster, was the first full-scale staging of Billy Elliot in the UK since the original. It was a completely new staging, with a new set design by Michael Taylor and choreography by Lucy Hind. [71] It was the biggest in-house production that the Curve Theatre has ever mounted. [72] [73] Social and cultural issues [ edit ] Subversion of gender roles [ edit ] Nearly a decade on after Billy Elliot the Musical opened in the West End, the piece is looking as healthy as ever, not least because of the way librettist and lyricist Lee Hall, composer Elton John, director Stephen Daldry and choreographer Peter Darling have managed to combine the raw reality of struggling through the 1984-85 miners’ strike with the dreams of a boy who lives to dance. I had forgotten how brilliantly the ‘Solidarity’ sequence brought together the hopes and aspirations of Billy, the miners and the police.
