Billy Elliot
The musical is set in County Durham, against the background of the coal miners' strike, which lasted for twelve months in 1984-85, motherless eleven-year-old Billy accidentally enters into a girls' ballet class run by Mrs. Wilkinson and is fascinated by the grace of the dance. His fascination with the dance invariably takes him to the class and realizing his passion and potential Mrs. Wilkinson encourages his love for the dance. Without informing his family who wanted him to learn boxing, Billy goes to the dance class regularly. Mrs. Wilkinson urges Billy to audition for the Royal Ballet School in London.
Billy has two friends Michael and Debbie. Michael has homosexual feelings and Debbie is the daughter of the ballet teacher. In the meantime Billy's stern, old-fashioned father and brother are occupied in a daily battle with policemen in riot paraphernalia protecting strikebreakers. Initially when the father learns about his son's escapades, he is not at all pleased. Finally the father acknowledges his son's desire to be a dancer; he also becomes submissive to the understanding that coal mining is a dying business.
The musical is slightly different than the movie version, as in the musical more weight is given to the miner's strike and as a result its tone is a bit darker and harder-edged than the films. However the ending is inspiring nevertheless, and the musical as a whole has many humorous touches.
Like the movie, the Musical too has taken the world by a storm.
