March 22nd 08 evening performance was fantastic. Corey Snide did a great job as Billy & to be on stage for almost three hours & perform all those routines, dance, sing, scene changes was incredible. A great night with all the Billy Elliot aspects - repression, bigotry, stigma , stereo types. Well done & few added funny throw ins as well.

Billy Elliot the Musical is an outstanding, mind-blowing performance which makes every member of the audience feel alive through dance, singing and acting. It will make you cry one minute and laugh hysterically the next. Billy Elliot the Musical is a uniquely British musical that tells the story of one boy’s struggle to realise his ambitions to dance against all the odds. Visually, this show is unbelievable and the choreography is brilliant.
As the miners’ strike of 1984 reaches its climax, Billy and his community fight to keep their dreams alive. For example, in the ‘Angry Dance’, the choreographer decided to use the confined space of Billy’s bedroom to represent the build up of frustration of which Billy feels as his dad denies him the opportunity to dance. Then gradually, as Billy gets increasingly frustrated, more of the stage is used as his anger spills out towards his family and finally the police, who are portrayed as the enemy of the miners.
Another scene that is visually outstanding is when Billy is almost dreaming about a career in dance and the chance to perform in ‘Swan Lake’. Billy is listening to Swan Lake and practising a routine alone in the village hall, when an older dancer, representing Billy as an adult, enters the stage and does the same dance. The contrast of the two dancers is fantastic and when Billy begins to ‘fly’ with the assistance of the older Billy, it is breathtaking.
Every young actor will interpret the character of Billy differently but all of them who play Billy Elliot will be incredible. Each young actor will have a different level of expertise in areas of dance; however the choreographer and director successfully show the boys off to their best ability. For example, the first time I saw the show, I saw Colin Bates. Colin was fantastic and had a strength in contemporary and ballet, whereas he wasn’t as strong in tap or modern. However, his dances were adapted so that he could perform to his full potential. The second time I saw the show I saw Sam Angell. Sam had a flare for modern, tap and contemporary, but wasn’t as strong at ballet. But once again, his dances were adapted to suit him and show him off to his full ability.
Every character in the show is brought to life in every performance! Both times that I saw the show, I came away speechless! It was a hundred times better than I ever thought it would be and I came away a huge fan! The fact that it has been a full house almost every night has to tell you something! With every pirouette and flip, comes another tear and breath of excitement! I would strongly advise anyone to go and see the show as I am positive that absolutely everyone who sees it will come away full of admiration! Easily the best thing I will ever see!
10 out of 10!
