Don't know what Billy I am talking about? Why Billy Elliot of course. The 2009 Tony Award winner for Best Musical. The show which first premiered in London in 2005 is one of Broadway's biggest hits in years. Now I've never seen the movie. In fact I am the only one in my office who hasn't seen the show. Look I'm sure it is an amazing show. It wouldn't be grossing a million dollars a week and won all those awards if it wasn't. It just isn't my type of show. Besides I don't think that Sir Elton John is losing any sleep because some ticket seller from New York hasn't seen his show. The fact is that Billy Elliot is here to stay my friends. People love it. Maybe you will too.

Billy Elliot on Broadway
One word could easily describe the Broadway hit Billy Elliot. Awesome! Although I am a big fan of the show Billy Elliot, I often have to describe the show to callers to my ticket service Applause. It seems that although the show is based on the 2000 film of the same name, there are lots of people that haven't yet seen the film.
Billy Elliot on Broadway follows the film very closely and is about a teenager who develops a love for the dance. He comes from a coal mining family tradition from outside of London. It seems the miners are on strike and the town is in a declining state. You can imagine that in the 1980's London, during the Margaret Thatcher leadership era, that young Billy's family might not be too happy with his choice to try and gain admission to London's Royal Ballet School. After all, what would everyone think? His dance teacher does an amazing job training him and then getting him an audition at the school.
Billy Elliot on Broadway has an interesting story with excellent music by Elton John and lyrics and book by Lee Hall. Direction is brilliantly portrayed by Stephen Daldry who handled the same duties in the film version. Choreography is by the very talented Peter Darling. Although the musical is considered to be one of a somewhat "darker" nature, Billy Elliot has lots of funny lines in it along with fantastic dance scenes and beautiful music. You'll want to buy yourself the CD right after seeing the show. It takes 4 young actors to alternate the role of playing Billy Elliot. And they are one talented bunch indeed. Lookout for Billy's friend Michael who often steals the show with his extremely colorful wit and character.
Broadway and film veteran Gregory Jbara stars as Billy's dad and Carole Shelley as his grandma with Kate Hennig playing Ms. Wilkinson.
I loved Broadway's version of Billy Elliot and think you should probably consider going to the Imperial Theater yourself to catch the show. If you need advice on obtaining tickets, our ticket guru's are here to assist you.

We even stay open till midnight now so we can talk to people from all over the country at their convenience. Most of the other ticket companies go home early but that's OK with us.

Ring In The New Year With Billy Elliot
What? You still haven't seen Billy Elliot yet? Well what are you waiting for? Now is the best time to get your tickets to see Billy Elliot on Broadway. The show which won ten 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical has been packing them in at the Imperial Theatre since it first opened in the fall of 2008. Now the truth is I have never seen the show. In fact I'm the one in our office who hasn't. Look I'm sure it's a great show. It didn't win all those awards for nothing. It's just not my cup of tea. Doesn't mean you won't like it. Good seats are available for most dates so don't delay. By the way Billy Elliot is now on sale thru the end of the year. Yes I know it's only January 2nd but it's never too late to plan ahead. Get your tickets to see Billy Elliot on Broadway. It is a winner.

Billy Elliot Breaks Box Office Records
Two days ago I wrote a blog commenting on the popularity of Billy Elliot. Well as it turns out it is even more popular than I thought. It was just announced that last week Billy Elliot set a new box office record by grossing over $1,663,895.00. The previous record at the Imperial Theatre was also held by Billy Elliot when it grossed $1,574,501.60 during the last week of November. The show which won ten 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical is one of Broadway's biggest hits trailing only behind Wicked and The Jersey Boys. Expect Billy Elliot to be here for a very long time.
