About Billy Elliot
Broadway has taken to drawing inspiration from all manner of places – rock albums, books, and animated movies among the choices. Non-animated films have also contributed to the fold, as in the case of Billy Elliot.
The independent British film was released in 2000 and became a sleeper hit, winning numerous awards around the world. Lee Hall, the screenwriter, capitalized on that success and moved forward with the idea of turning the story into a musical. To do so, Hall penned the book and lyrics with Elton John contributing the music.
The plot of Billy Elliot centers on the title character, a young man in a working-class English town who throws down the traditional boxing gloves and tries on ballet shoes, therein finding his true passion. As Hall's screenplay was partly inspired by A.J. Cronin's novel, The Stars Look Down, the musical's opening number plays tribute to that work.
In 2005, the musical opened at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London's West End, eventually capturing four of the nine Laurence Olivier Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Musical. That same award would also be bestowed for the Broadway staging which won 10 Tony Awards and 10 Drama Desk Awards. The Australian production garnered a record-tying seven Helpmann Awards.
Along with Hall, the film's director, Stephen Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, were on board for the original London production which Charles Spencer from the Daily Telegraph called "the greatest British musical I have ever seen." Three actors rotated through the role of Billy.
In November of 2007, Sydney's Capitol Theatre hosted the Australian staging with Daldry and Darling at the helm, but with the addition of Julian Webber as a co-director. After a year's run and numerous accolades, the show moved to Melbourne for a six-month run that ended in mid-2009.
At the same time, November of 2008, Broadway was readying to welcome Billy Elliot to the Imperial Theatre. With the original London creative team in charge, the show drew rave reviews from every corner, inciting Liz Smith to call it "absolutely, unequivocally awesome." Though expensive to stage, the production recouped its $18 million investment after 14 months and continued to do blockbuster business.
The touring company of Billy Elliot started at the Ford Center for Performing Arts in Chicago in early 2010 and will stay there until it runs out of steam. A second touring company was brought on to open at the Durham Performing Arts Center in Durham, North Carolina in November of 2010 and then head to Minneapolis, Portland, Tampa, and St. Louis.
Seoul, South Korea has a staging underway as of August, 2010 while Toronto is prepping the first Canadian production to open in 2011.
Billy Elliot Set to Win Hearts Across America (written July 13 2010)
With Broadway culling its inspiration from anywhere and everywhere these days, including Green Day's American Idiot album, the animated Lion King movie, and more, it is no wonder that a popular, dance-centric film like Billy Elliot would make the grade.
The independent British film about a young man in a working-class town who trades in boxing gloves for ballet shoes became a smash hit after its release in 2000. Awards rushed in and screenwriter Lee Hall saw the writing on the wall – Billy Elliot the Musical. And he did just that, penning the book and lyrics while bringing in Sir Elton John to handle the musical duties.
The movie's director, Stephen Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, were also on board when the first staging of the musical opened at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London's West End in 2005.
With nine Laurence Olivier Award nominations and four wins, they had a success on their hands, in fact, "the greatest British musical I have ever seen," if you asked the Daily Telegraph. Five years and counting, London's Billy Elliot staging continues its successful run.
After London got going, the team headed Down Under to conquer Sydney and then Melbourne, and win seven Helpmann Awards. Soon enough, they had a Broadway staging in the works. It opened in late 2008 at the Imperial Theatre to more rave reviews and mounds of awards, including 10 Drama Desk Awards and 10 Tony Awards.
If critics are right, and the show is "so exhilarating that at times you feel like leaping" and "almost like being in love," then it's no wonder why it has enjoyed so much success. Though expensive to put on, the production recouped its investment in a mere 14 months. With those sorts of gangbuster numbers, a touring company was inevitable.
The first non-Broadway staging in the U.S. put Billy Elliot in Chicago at the Ford Center for Performing Arts earlier this year. Though producer Eric Fellner proclaimed the show "will be here until such time as Chicago says 'go away'.... We can only do one production at once," a second touring company was announced, complete with a bus-and-truck itinerary covering a number of cities.
