If you are wondering why the title of this post is Billy Elliot then I will tell you in this post. So, read on to find out.

Billy Elliot is a musical that was also a movie. The movie was very good, but the actors had some heavy Northern accents so, I couldn't always understand what they were saying. Can you believe that the musical was even better than the movie?!

Plot: A little boy, Billy, lives in a small town in the time of the miners strike. He has a brother, after, and grandmother ( his mother died when he was young). His father wants him to do boxing, but he really doesn't like it. One day he stays after the boxing class and watches the ballet class. At first he doesn't join in, but after a little while he joins in. One day during the ballet classes his father storms into the room and saw Billy in the ballet class. He gets really angry at Billy and forbids him from going to any more classes. Billy doesn't listen to his father and keeps on going to classes. Billy's teacher thinks that Billy should try out for The Royal Ballet School. The practice and it's time for the auditions! He goes home and sets his alarm clock ( 8:00 a.m) for the next morning. He wakes up and it is past 8 o'clock! He starts getting ready when his teacher ( remember his dad and brother think that he has stopped doing ballet, and they don't know that he's trying out for The Royal Ballet School) stormed into the house. She was really mad at Billy for being late and they missed the auditions. The dad demanded that Billy should show them what he could do, but he didn't. One evening the dad saw Billy dancing and he really liked it. So, he started working and everyone else helped him get money. One of the problems were that if Billy got into the ballet school his dad would have to pay around $1,000 a year. The other problem was that the auditions were in the city and the family didn't have a car so, they would have to pay for a bus fare for two people which in those days was a lot of money. Once they have enough money they go to the auditions. A while later they receive a letter that saids that Billy is accepted at The Royal Ballet School.
