Billy Elliot is one of my favorite musicals I have ever seen in the West End. What impressed me the most about this drama is that the characters in it are all full-bodied. Whether it is Billy as the protagonist, or his friend Michael, his father, brother, grandma, and ballet teacher, everyone is really interesting. **Ming feeling. I remember a scene where grandma told Billy that she also loved dancing when she was young, and that dancing was the only happy moment in her unhappy married life. The tenderness on grandma's face when she recalled dancing with grandpa was moving. Although her marriage was embarrassing, where did women of that era have more choices? Billy's father was a coal miner, a tough guy from the north. He wanted his son to learn boxing and thought it was unreasonable for boys to dance ballet. He and his eldest son even got into a fight over the strike. However, his eldest son accused him of falling into despair after his wife's death. Sometimes, you will unconsciously feel sorry for him. Little Michael is a very cute boy who is exploring his own sexuality. His friendship with Billy is very touching. The gentle kiss Michael left on Billy's cheek when he bid farewell to him at the end was just right. As a digression, although the musical is adapted from the movie of the same name, I think the musical is much better than the movie, because many places are hit and miss. Unlike the movie, it feels like it is afraid that the audience will not understand and must speak in vernacular. feeling. . . The scene at the end of the movie where the adult Michael, who has come out as gay, goes to see Billy perform is really a bit powerless to complain about, and Michael must be made into smoky makeup. . . It’s really not a stereotype. . .

The music in the play is very nice. What impressed me most was the solidarity part, where the little ballet girl spins and jumps among the police and protesting miners. The music and choreography are very suitable for that turbulent era background. The electric part of Billy's interview is my favorite. Watching little Billy sing and dance with firm eyes, it felt like electric, bursting inside of me, and I am free, I am free, my eyes really moistened all of a sudden.

In short, it is a very, very recommended drama, especially if you like musical and dance movies, this is simply a masterpiece
