Billy Elliot The Musical

‘This is not a time to beat about the bush. Billy Elliot strikes me as THE GREATEST BRITISH MUSICAL I HAVE EVER SEEN, and I have not forgotten Lionel Bart’s Oliver! or Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. There is a rawness, a warm humour and a sheer humanity…big and bold, imaginative and great-hearted. Elton John has written a wonderful score that ranges from folk to hard rock, from razzle-dazzle show tunes to soaring anthems of human solidarity and defiance. The whole cast is blessed with a freshness and sincerity I have rarely seen equaled, and one leaves this triumphant production in a mist of tears and joy.’

Daily Telegraph - Charles Spencer

‘Billy’s a whizz! He’ll lift your soul, make you cry and send you home high with hope. Dreamy dancing, full-rip staging, stonking songs a production of the most searing quality. A Glorious show. It’s a weepie, funny spectacle married to a super score by Sir Elton John. Utterly captivating.’

Daily Mail - Quentin Letts

‘Stephen Daldry’s passionate new musical version, a work of fabulous flair and tremendous talent, which had me blubbing as much as beaming. TRULY ELECTRIFYING - THIS HEART-STOPPING SHOW IS A MUST-SEE.’
