"Billy Elliot" Dances to Broadway

When Billy Elliot, the title character of the 2000 film, traded his boxing gloves for ballet shoes, he probably never dreamed he'd end up on Broadway.

But sure enough, that's where he's headed.

Thanks to Elton John (music), Lee Hall (book and lyrics), Stephen Daltry (direction), and Peter Darling (choreography), Billy Elliot will be dancing into our hearts on November 13 at Broadway's Imperial Theatre. Previews begin October 1.

Billy Elliot the Musical is produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jon Finn, and Sally Greene. Executive Producers are Angela Morrison and David Furnish.

The role of Billy Elliot will be played by David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik, and Kiril Kulish.
