Mt and I attended Billy Elliot The Musical on Thursday night.
The woman who sold us our tickets told us we were 'in for a treat' and she was correct. The musical follows the original film storyline reasonably faithfully. The performance was full of energy. The children performers are immensely talented and Rhys Kowsakowski, the Billy who performed that night (there are four who rotate in the role) was outstanding.
The scene in which he dances Swan Lake with his adult alto ego gave me goosebumps.
There are the occasional flat moments and some stereotype humour but the overall impact of the show was highly pleasurable and memorable.
Glad you guys were able to have a great time at the show.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this coming to Melbourne. Loved the film.
