BILLY ELLIOT MUSICAL

ABOUT THE MUSICAL

A completely exceptional English musical based on the film of the same name, tells the captivating story of an eleven-year-old boy, Billy, who longs to exercise his extraordinary dancing talent.

Will he be able to overcome family adversity and the harsh mining environment during a radical strike against the closure of the local mines? The emotional musical offers a completely extraordinary theatrical experience full of excellent performances by adults and children. The work of world-renowned authors won the most prestigious theater award and now it will be performed on the stage of the New Theater for the first time in the Czech Republic!

Tobacco products are used in the production, and due to the mining nature of the setting in which the story takes place, there is an increased amount of profanity in the play.
