Billy Elliot the Musical


Billy Elliot    Nov. 2019

I know this is not a new play. But then I am behind the times in many things.
The Story...

































The Story Continued


I am OK with that; we had a fine time driving to Stratford, ON to see the play.

We even visited the Pork Store in Shakespeare, ON for some goodies to take home. Yum!

And the theater we were in had all the latest gizmos, lighting, props, etc. to make the performance spectacular. 

We timed our travels perfectly, arrived about 1 hour before the performance started and we had our lunch sitting in the car, in the parking lot. We made our sandwiches at home and brought them along in a cooler, which we left in the car after we ate.


11 Years Old and So Talented

I liked the play; I loved the dancers and the young 11-year old boy Nolan Dubuc acted, danced and sang outstandingly as Billy Elliot.  
Music By Elton John

The play flowed well; the action in general was very good and pulled the audience into the play.

The dancing was fantastic as were the costumes and sets.

If you have a chance to see this play near you… go and see it.

But, be forewarned… the language is a bit rough (I wish they could clean this up) and we had actors that all spoke with a Liverpool, England accent… tough on my ear … hard to follow when they speak very fast… 

 I hope your performance will be a bit better in that respect… but I give this an 8 or 9 out of 10.
