Called "extraordinarily uplifting" by Time Out New York and "intoxicating" by The New York Times, Billy Elliot is a joyous, exciting and feel-good celebration of one boy following his heart and making his dreams come true. Based on the critically acclaimed feature film, Billy Elliot is brought to life by the movie's original creative team and music legend Elton John. « less

I loved this show. The dancing is spectacular. My only gripe is that some of the characters used an accent that was at times difficult to understand. More

This show was both hilarious and moving. Been to a few West end shows but chose to see this on Broadway and it was just brilliant. A story that makes you laugh, cry and learn. More

Wonderful acting and dancing. Some humor that was hard to understand if you have not visited Britain. Very sad that the show is no longer showing on Broadway. More

Best show I"ve seen on Broadway having seen 8 shows last two years. The story is touching, we all can relate to parent-child growth, and the child dancer-singers are unbelieveable. More

With so many shows on Broadway (and off-Broadway), Billy Elliot is on of the best. I'm not a fan of Terpsichore (the muse of dance), this show is a great story with good music and the dancing is terrific. More
