Thrilling audiences worldwide and winning ten 2009 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, “The best show you will ever see” (New York Post) is coming to Pittsburgh!

“Billy Elliot” is a joyous celebration of one young boy’s triumph against the odds. Called “the most inspiring show I’ve seen in years” by Ben Brantley of The New York Times, the story follows Billy’s journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring, into a ballet class and discovers his dream to dance. Full of life, laughter, award-winning choreography and an unforgettable score by Elton John, “Billy Elliot” will enchant the dreamer in all of us.

The show is brought to life by a phenomenal cast of 45 and the Tony-winning creative team — director Stephen Daldry, choreographer Peter Darling and writer Lee Hall — along with music legend Elton John, who has written what the New York Post calls “his best score yet!”
