The production opened to rave reviews. Director Stephen Daldry and choreographer Peter Darling, who also worked on the film, worked together to bring the vision of the film to the live stage and succeeded in winning four Laurence Olivier Awards. Billy Elliot next went to Sydney with the same creative team in 2007. Just as the show had wowed audiences in the UK, the Australian audience immediately fell in love with the production. A winner twice, Billy Elliot became an unquestioned success thrice in 2008 when it transferred to Broadway at the Imperial Theatre. Notably, three actors, David Alvarez, Kiril Kulish, and Trent Kowalik took turns with the lead role, a fact that is notable because they went on to share the Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, one of 10 Tony Awards Billy Elliot took home that evening.
