Billy Elliot is a heartwarming story about a young boy who longs, and loves, to dance. His incredible natural talent is unleashed when he has a chance to participate in ballet classes at his school, and that is how a star is born. Bill turns out to be more than just a good dancer, he is a great dancer, and has an incredible passion for the Ballet. This musical version is touching and beautiful, and stars three different and equally talented young men who play the part of Billy Elliot on alternating nights.
The story has much more to it than just a young boy who loves to dance, because Billy Elliot comes from a mining family, and it is seen as being his destiny to take the road underground as well. The story has a political undertone to it, as it is set during the very powerful government of Margaret Thatcher. During this time a miner’s strike ensued over plans to close the Cortonwood colliery in Yorkshire. Not long afte it became clear that more than one mine was facing the ax and during that time more than half of the miners in Britain walked out of the mines and refused to work until their jobs were secured.
The fight for the mines was long and bitter, in response to the strike the conservative government stockpiled 50 million tons of coal, meaning that it would take months before the effects of the miner’s strike would be felt by the rest of the country. In the musical Billy Elliot’s father is one of the miners who leads the strike at his mine, and becomes influential in negotiations over when the miners will return to work.
It is against this backdrop that Billy, whose mother is dead, begins to find comfort in ballet as he takes classes from a lady at his school along with some of the other girls. When the teacher realizes his extraordinary talent, she begins to campaign with Billy’s father to allow him to pursue his talent more seriously. At first furious that his son has been learning such things, and terrified that he will become what he calls a “poof” Billy’s dad angrily demands that Billy stops lessons. But eventually he comes to realize his son’s talent when he sees him dance for the first time.
After he discovers his son’s true talent, Billy’s father will go to whatever lengths necessary to make sure that Billy is able to have a better life than he has had. In the end the audience comes to realize that the musical is as much about the community that the musical is set in, as it is about Billy himself. Even though the miner’s strike in 1984 and 1985 failed, this musical and the film that inspired it stand as a sort of tribute to the miners and their families who suffered during that period of time.
