Billy Elliot The Musical

Sep 13 – Nov 24, 2019 / The Goodspeed - 6 Main Street, East Haddam, CT 06423 view map

Young Billy Elliot is pulled between his family’s coal-mining roots and his newly discovered passion to dance. Is his future boxing gloves or ballet shoes? In the hardscrabble world of a changing England, reaching high becomes a leap of faith. Following your dream—and overcoming obstacles—has never been more electric than in the 10-time Tony winning Broadway phenomenon with songs by the legendary Elton John. Celebrate the idea of being yourself in the Goodspeed premiere of this powerful dance-filled story!

Language Warning: Please note that due to the authors' need to honestly portray the tough people of the Northern England mining community where our story takes place, as well as the extremely hard times they are going through, the published version of this script, which we have licensed, contains some harsh language, including some profanity.
