“This is an ‘actors’ musical full of tough and gritty real women, men and children from the working class upon who’s back Britain built its superpower. Billy Elliot is “based on these true events during the coal miners’ strike – British laborers find themselves out of work, running out of hope, bruised but definitely not beaten,” said Robert Hall. This beautiful coming of age story is set during the strife caused by the 1984–85 UK miners’ strike in County Durham, in North Eastern England. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community. The story centers on Billy, a British motherless boy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. It has also won numerous awards in Australia including a record-tying seven Helpmann Awards. In New York, it won ten Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards, including, in each case, Best Musical. Its success led to productions in Australia, on Broadway and elsewhere. This musical premiered at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End in 2005 and was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards, winning four, including Best New Musical.
