Late last year, producers were searching for young actors to play the main children’s parts in Billy Elliot, including Billy, Michael and Debbie.
The original production of Billy Elliot The Musical has been seen by over 12 million people worldwide, and has won over 80 international awards including four Olivier Awards and ten Tony Awards.
“Creating Billy Elliot the Musical was one of the most joyous and inspiring moments of our careers, so to bring the show back for a UK tour and a season in the West End for the first time in over a decade is both incredibly emotional and exciting. It’s bold, it’s British, it’s full of heart and the story feels more relevant than ever. We can’t wait for a whole new generation to experience it!” – Composer Elton John and Director Stephen Daldry
The original creative team
Billy Elliot The Musical has a book and lyrics by Lee Hall, and music by Elton John.
The musical’s original creative team is reuniting for the revival, including director Stephen Daldry, who also directed the film, choreographer Peter Darling, scenic designer Ian MacNeil, costume designer Nicky Gillibrand, lighting designer Rick Fisher and sound designer Paul Arditti. Musical supervision and orchestrations are by Martin Koch.
The creative team also includes WHAM (Wig, hair and make up) design by Campbell Young; adult casting by Pippa Ailion CDG and Natalie Gallacher CDG; and children’s casting Nick Hockaday CDG for Jessica Ronane Casting.
The stage show is based on the hugely successful film, which starred Jamie Bell and is part of the Studiocanal catalogue. Studiocanal are the co-producers of Paddington The Musical, and recently launched a stage production company.
Set in a northern mining town against the background of the 1984 and 1985 miners’ strike, the story follows Billy’s journey from boxing to ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever.
The last major production was Leicester Curve’s show in 2022, directed by Nikolai Foster.
Billy Elliot Tour
The show is also set to tour the UK and Ireland in 2027, starting at the Sunderland Empire on 4 November 2026, and then the Palace Theatre Manchester from 2 December 2026 over Christmas, and the Edinburgh Playhouse from 19 January. Further tour dates are to be announced.
