Honoured with ten 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Billy Elliot is a must see musical – in fact, it has been called “the best show you’ll ever see” by the New York Post!

Showing at the Canon Theatre, the musical is based on the hit film by the same name. Audiences watch as Billy’s journey shifts from the boxing ring to ballet class, where he discovers his true passion. With a score by Elton John combined with the genius of the Tony-winning creative team of director Stephen Daldry, choreographer Peter Darling and writer Lee Hall, you simply cannot miss this fantastic production! After all, “When an audience leaps to their feet cheering in the middle of a show’s second act, then you know something extraordinary is happening…” (Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star)!

There are two performances of Billy Elliot today – one at 1:30pm (tickets range from $36 to $123) and one at 7:30pm (tickets range from $40 to $157). If today’s shows are sold-out, don’t worry! The show’s run has been extended into September! To see the full Billy Elliot schedule, go to www.billyelliotintoronto.com.
