Set
in the North East, Billy Elliot is a funny,
heart-warming and feel-good celebration of one young
boy's dream.
This original story captured the hearts of people around
the world when the movie was released in October 2000.
The poignant film broke box office records worldwide and
was nominated for a raft of awards including 3 Golden
Globes, 3 Oscars and 13 Bafta Awards.
The original multi-award winning creative team from the
film: director Stephen Daldry, writer Lee Hall and
choreographer Peter Darling are joined by music legend,
Elton John the most celebrated UK singer songwriter of
