Entry 11 of 12 | show all | print this entry

Finished off the rest of the records I came to look at and caught a showing of Billy Elliott (a musical based on the film).  The score is a bit bare bones, but the story line (a kid growing up without a mother in coal-mining country quits taking boxing lessons when he figures out he's a lot better at ballet) is very well executed.  The dancing was fabulous -- the kid who played Billy is still singing in soprano registers, and has amazing turns and leaps, and he taps like a typewriter.  There was a great pas de deux -- Billy as a kid partnered by Billy as an adult -- and the encore had everyone -- coalminers, grandma, the manly brother -- all of them dancing up a storm.
