  • Billy Elliot is a captivating production if ever one existed. From the fantastically designed stage and costumes to the brilliance of the script itself. You very much believe in poor Billy's struggle and the treachery bestowed upon his family during the mining strike. The colourful language and comedy relief coming from such young mouths lends to lighten the downtrodden theme of this otherwise quite sad production. The cast both young and old certainly give it everything they've got and really draw you in to empathise with them. There is a very enchanting scene where Billy dances with his alter ego (an older version of himself) and they perform a flying rendition of a dance he seems to have perfected. That alone is phenomenal to say the least, definitely a must see in the theatre world and a tissue or two will be needed!!

  • This was a tremendous show and so beautifully British. Not too sugar coated, actually rather gritty, with humour and pathos. Maybe could have been a little shorter, but the action flowed together seamlessly and had a great energy. And darn, can that kid dance!

  • A friend of mine has seen this show eight times, so i knew it wouldn't disappoint, and it definitely didn't. It has all the qualities of a great show, humour, top class acting, outstanding dancing, it's a show that pulled at my heart strings. The length of the show is slightly longer than other shows i have seen recently, but it doesn't drag and every minute of the performance is amazing. One for all the family to watch.

  • Amazing show; the cast, both young and old, gave a heart-warming, inspiring performance. The dancing was technically brilliant, and the performance by Billy was outstanding. Set design/costumes are great, and the stage is a technical masterpiece.

  • The kid who plays Billy is preternaturally brilliant. Precocious doesn't even begin to describe the rest of the young cast. And the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain is, for obvious reasons, more relevant now than at any time since she governed. Just one quick word of warning: you WILL cry (or at least come perilously close).

  • An absolutely outstanding performance by all - it's amazing how talented the kids are in particular. It had the perfect mix of hilarity and seriousness and made for an unforgettable evening.

  • This was outstanding. After a couple of major disappointments (Chorus Line, Curious Incident) it was a major relief to see a brilliantly acted and staged show. The songs are excellent and move the story along. The dancing is exceptional. There were several scenes which brought tears to a 56 year old's eyes - Billy dancing with fury against the police and strikers; Billy dancing with himself as an adult. And the young kid who plays his friend was both hilarious and poignant. Also loved the set piece where the cast sing Happy Christmas Mrs Thatcher. A real show for our times. I could see it several times over.
