Billy Elliot

The story of Billy Elliot captured hearts around the world, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Globes. Featuring the musical mastery of Sir Elton John, Billy Elliot is the joyous celebration of one boy’s journey to make his dreams come true. Set in a working-class, mining town, the story follows Billy as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class. This sparks the discovery of a surprising talent that inspires the whole community. Billy Elliot reaches high with a leap of faith in this powerful, dance-filled story. Making its premiere at the venerable Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, CT, enjoy the matinee from excellent orchestra seats. Before the curtain goes up, enjoy lunch at the historic Gelston House, served in a stunning setting on the shores of the Connecticut River.
