Billy Elliot
The theater show Billy Elliot is a musical that is based on the film also named Billy Elliot. The story's main character is a boy named Billy. Billy possesses a love for dancing and it is his dream to become a professional ballet dancer. Billy's mother is dead, and his father and brother do not support Billy's passion for dance. They want him to learn how to box, but Billy doesn't like the sport of boxing. There is a ballet class that uses the boxing gym's basement. Billy is lured in by the ballet teacher, and with her guidance, he secretly begins to attend ballet classes. Billy's father does not know about the ballet class until the boxing coach makes a comment about Billy's absence. Billy's father finds out he has been at the ballet class and bans him from continuing to dance. Billy still attends the dance classes in secret. When Billy misses an important audition for the Royal Ballet School, the teacher shows up at his house. Billy's father and brother become outraged at the idea of Billy becoming a professional ballet dancer.

At the end of the show, Billy's father begins to see that ballet is Billy's passion in life. His father has a change of heart and takes the boy to the audition for the famous school. Billy is accepted into the school and moves out of his father's house to attend the school.

The music for the play was written by the famous Sir Elton John. Lee Hall wrote the books and the lyrics. The music centers on a motherless Billy, who seeks fulfillment through ballet dancing. His personal struggle to succeed is contrasted with the harsh setting of the UK miner's strike of the 1980s. His brother and father are miners, and Billy does not want to follow in their footsteps.

In 2005, the musical premiered in London's West End. It was widely successful, and it was nominated for nine Laurence Oliver Awards the same year. It won the award for best musical. The wide success of the show has prompted productions throughout the world. After premiering on Broadway, it won ten Tony awards in New York.
