Billy Elliot Grand Rapids Mi Tickets
Billy Elliot is theatre musical inspired by the Hollywood movie of the same name. The play is written by the screenplay writer of the original film, Lee Hall. The music has been provided by the legendary Elton John who has been known to create excellent tunes for movies like “The Lion King” and “Gnomeo and Juliet”. The screenplay in turn was loosely based on the novel from 1935, “The Stars Look Down”, written by A.J. Cronin.
Ever since debuting in 2005 at the West End, the play has elevated itself to being one of the best running musicals of the modern day. This is one of the few plays of the 21st century that have done as well as those that have been running since a good 20 to 30 years. It has also won several awards, including the Tony Award for “Best Musical” amongst 8 others, and 4 Lawrence Olivier Awards from 9 overall nominations. The play is running around the country this month as well, and Billy Elliot Grand Rapids MI tickets have gone on sale. The story of the musical involves a young man called Billy who wants to be a ballet dancer, when conventions of his culture and family want him to be something more masculine, like a boxer instead. Moreover, his city is still meeting with the after effects of the historical Miner’s Strike. The Billy Elliot Grand Rapids MI show will hopefully convey the artistic quality of the original production.
