For the first time in the UK, the award-winning, world-renowned BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL gets a new look with a Made at Curve production at the Leicester Curve theatre this summer.

It’s the mid 80’s. Thatcher is at her most powerful. Men mine and boys box. Until, in a small town in County Durham, a young boy falls in love with ballet.

Based on Stephen Daldry‘s acclaimed 2000 film, with music by Elton John and book and lyrics by Lee Hall, this electrifying musical features incredible songs such as Solidarity, The Letter, He Could Be a Star and the show-stopping Electricity.
