I liked the film, enjoying the dance sequences and the aforementioned performances, but I wondered about why the film needed to include uncertainty about Billy's sexuality. it seems natural that ignorant characters would automatically equate ballet with being a "poof," but I didn't see any motivation for Billy to internalize these criticisms. In July and August 2022 a completely new UK production was presented at the Curve, Leicester. The revival, by the theatre's artistic director Nikolai Foster, was the first full-scale staging of Billy Elliot in the UK since the original. It was a completely new staging, with a new set design by Michael Taylor and choreography by Lucy Hind. [71] It was the biggest in-house production that the Curve Theatre has ever mounted.

At the very heart of the whole experience is an incredible performance of maturity and skill from 11-year-old Elliott Hanna as Billy. With the camera never far away, there are no shortcuts this young actor, singer and dancer can make, but his passion and commitment can never be questioned. It is impossible not to be in awe of his talent and the integrity he brings to the role. Zach Atkinson (13), as Billy’s pal Michael (yes, the one who likes dressing up in dresses!) is a pretty big hit too.

In the early stages of watching new release Billy Elliot the Musical Live (recorded on Sunday 28 September this year when the show was broadcast live from the West End to cinemas across the UK and around the world), I wasn’t convinced it was going to be worth staying the distance. What was watching this recording of the show going to add to my experience of having already seen it a number of times at the Victoria Palace? Even the camerawork appeared to be setting too far a distance between the viewer at home and the action onstage.

In an optional commentary, Daldry explains why he chose such ditties as T: Rex's I Love To Boogie and The Jam's Town Called Malice. The original cast album was released on 10 January 2006. On 12 May 2006, the three original Billys appeared together in a performance of the musical to celebrate its first anniversary. The three rotated the role during the performance and were joined at the end by Elton John. [9] In 2013, the show won another Olivier Award, the BBC Radio 2 Audience Award (voted for by theatre goers), after many years of being finalists for the award. [10] After Margaret Thatcher died in 2013, according to director Stephen Daldry, the audience were given the choice to decide whether the song "Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher" would be included in the performance that day, since the lyrics include the sentence: "We all celebrate today 'cause it's one day closer to your death". As only three audience members voted against it, the performance went ahead as usual.

The production is notable in its empowering promotion of the subversion of traditional gender roles, promoting acceptance and open-mindedness; both implicitly in the show's decision to represent drag and the challenging of traditional masculinity in a positive light, and explicitly, in the shows lyrics and repeated core message of the value of 'expressing yourself' and embracing one's 'individuality.' Billy's subversion of traditional masculine "gender performativity" [74] is highlighted against the contrast of Durham's extremely masculine working-class society. With this focus, Billy Elliot has the position of being "the first mainstream British entertainment to directly interrogate homophobic prejudice as a function of patriarchal society."

Jamie Bell came from nowhere and danced his way to box office glory in Brit musical Billy Elliot (2000). His real-life success draws parallels with the story of his on-screen alter ego, a humble northern lad who beats the odds to win a place at the Royal Ballet School. But the film also announced the arrival of director Stephen Daldry. He made his feature debut with this " engrossing, funny," and "very uplifting" tale that went on to bag a few BAFTAs and a clutch of Oscar nominations too.
