Billy Elliot Musical , incredible and unmissable. (Review)

 

This Musical is called Billy Elliot, it is based on the book and movie Billy Elliot. It was directed by Stephen Daldry, produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jon Finn and Sally Greene and the musical director was Chris Hatt. It is about a boy that tries to achieve his dream even though he has trouble doing so. Ali Rasul is Billy Elliot in the musical.Billy Elliot is set in the tumultous 1984-1985. It was an extraordinary time in many ways.

 

Billy Elliot is an 11 years old child that lives with his father Jackie, his older brother Tony and his Grandma. His dad and his brother are coal miners and his mother is dead. They live in Everingston, a town that produces coal. Billy´s family is living in an economical crisis for england because coal isn´t generating any money,because of this england´s prime minister Margaret Thatcher has decided to close all coal mines, this of course leaves many people without job, including Billy´s family. The miners gathered and decided to start a strike.Billy is taking secretly ballet classes but he is supossed to be taking boxing classes, his dad don´t allow Billy to take Ballet classes beacause it´s for puff and his family tradition is to do boxing for men. Mrs Wilkinson, the ballet teacher of Billy is trying to take Billy to the Royal Ballet School and for that it needs his family permission. His familly, as they are in strike they can´t gather money but all the miners are going to help with it.

 

Ali Rasul(Billy Elliot) is a very talented child that is only 12 years old that did the best to be Billy Elliot in the Musical, he knows to dance and act and I think he did very well in the Musical. He was the protagonist and he needed to practice a lot to not make mistakes and he didn´t make mistakes. Other characters like Tony(Kevin Wathen) and Jackie(Deka Walmsley) did an excelent performance   as well as Michael(Joe Massey) and Mrs. Wilkinson(Anna-Jane Casey). The Musical was very good  and the actors did so well that I thought that the fights were real and everything was real.It was also very funny because some characters like Michael made dumb things which made me laugh. Overall everyone did very good and the musical was perfect because of that. I loved it.

 

I liked how all the actors danced and sang. They were very good. One part I really liked was when the miners and the police sang as they ¨fought¨ each other because it was very enthusiastic and the song was very good.Another part I liked was when Billy practiced ballet with Mrs Wilkinson because their dance was very good. I also liked the suspense when billy´s card arrived because I didnt know if he was going to be accepted at the end.

 

What I learned was that life is not always easy and that you should always try to achieve your dreams no matter what, even if you have to work hard to achieve them. I think others may learn the same and this musical could also help them for inspiration and a motivation to keep moving forward.

 

I think people who like music,drama and dancing will enjoy this movie. Others who hate alot of noise will not enjoy it, aswell as very old people. I think everyone above the age of 15 will be able to watch this musical because it has some swearing which could be a bad influence for some people but its not something to worry about much.

 

I´ll give this movie 5 stars out of 5.
