UK 2006
Ten delightful days with my daughter touring London and the Highlands of Scotland
- May 26th through June 4th -
One of the real highlights of our stay in London was seeing
"Billy Elliot the Musical" at the historic Victoria Palace Theatre.
Thanks to Jennifer's timely ticket acquisition, we had fifth-row-center seats
for this thoroughly entertaining and moving evening.

Billy Elliot the Musical Victoria Palace Theatre A funny, heart-warming and feel-good celebration of one young boy's dream in a gripping tale of triumph over adversity. This original story captured the hearts and minds of the world when the movie was released in October 2000. Nominated for 3 Oscars and 13 Bafta awards, this poignant film broke box office records across the world. This brilliant new staging is an adaptation of one of the most adored British films of the last decade. The extraordinary movie written by Lee Hall, directed by Stephen Daldry and choreographed by Peter Darling, has been developed for the stage by the same multi-award winning creative team. The score has been composed by music legend Elton John, the most celebrated UK singer songwriter of the last 30 years. (excerpted from the program) |
