Billy Elliot the Musical is a comedy musical based on the 2000 film Billy Elliot. The music is by Sir Elton John, and book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film's screenplay. The plot revolves around motherless Billy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the UK miners' strike (1984–1985) in County Durham, in North Eastern England.

  • Billy Elliot the Musical is a comedy musical based on the 2000 film Billy Elliot. The music is by Sir Elton John, and book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film's screenplay. The plot revolves around motherless Billy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the UK miners' strike (1984–1985) in County Durham, in North Eastern England. Hall's screenplay was inspired in part by A. J. Cronin's novel, The Stars Look Down, to which the musical's opening song pays homage. The musical premiered in London's West End in 2005 and was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards, winning four including Best New Musical. The production is still running strongly, and its success led to productions in Australia, on Broadway and elsewhere. In New York, it won ten Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards, including, in each case, best musical. It has also won numerous awards in Australia including a record-tying seven Helpmann Awards.
  • Elton John's Billy Elliot the Musical è un pluripremiato musical in due atti su libretto di Lee Hall, prodotto da Sir Elton John; è basato sull'omonimo film di Stephen Daldry (che qui riveste ancora una volta il ruolo di regista). Il musical contiene brani musicali composti dai già citati Elton John (musica) e Lee Hall (parole). La storia è essenzialmente quella del film: il giovane Billy Elliot cerca in tutti i modi di realizzare il proprio sogno (ovvero, di diventare un grande ballerino), ma dovrà affrontare diverse lotte e cocenti delusioni. Il tutto è inserito in un contesto storico turbolento come il famoso sciopero dei minatori britannici del 1984/1985, avvenuto sotto il governo della Baronessa Margaret Tatcher. La sceneggiatura di Lee Hall è stata parzialmente ispirata dal romanzo E le stelle stanno a guardare di A. J. Cronin: il brano d'apertura (And the Stars Look Down) è un omaggio a quest'opera. Billy Elliot the Musical ha debuttato al Teatro del West End (Victoria Palace Theatre, Londra) nel 2005 ed è stato nominato per nove Laurence Olivier Awards (ne ha vinti quattro). L'incredibile successo conseguito ha fatto sì che il musical approdasse dappertutto, anche in Australia e a Broadway. A New York, esso ha vinto dieci Tony Awards e dieci Drama Desk Awards; anche in Australia ha conseugito numerosi premi e riconoscimenti.
