THE tale of a young boy's love of dance is brought to the stage this month when Llandudno Youth Music Theatre present Billy Elliot.
To celebrate five years of the popular show in the West End, the producers of Billy Elliot the Musical have launched Billy Youth Theatre - an exciting new initiative providing schools and youth groups around the country with the opportunity to perform their own productions of this internationally award-winning show.
115 separate productions will be staged across the UK, and Llandudno Youth Music were one of the successful applicants who will be presenting the show between July 22-24.
Billy Elliot writer Lee Hall, together with Martin Koch (Musical Supervision and Orchestrations), have adapted their original script and orchestrations to produce a shortened version of the show exclusively for groups staging local productions.
Lee Hall, who originally conceived the idea behind Billy Youth Theatre, said: “I am delighted that young people around the country will have the opportunity to bring the story of Billy Elliot to life in their local communities with the help and guidance of our creative team”.
Following Billy during the struggles of the 1984 mining strikes as he discovers the world of dancing, the heart-warming tale has enthralled audiences all over the world.
If you are a fan of the film, be sure to experience this stage spectacular.
