Book now for Billy Elliot The Musical, the award-winning global phenomenon, returning to the UK on tour for the first time in over a decade.

Billy Elliot on Tour

Seen by over 12 million people worldwide and winner of 80+ awards, this beloved British musical returns to the stage for a major UK tour before it arrives at the Adelphi Theatre in London.

Featuring music by Elton John and a book by Lee Hall, Billy Elliot blends powerful storytelling with electrifying dance and an unforgettable score.

Directed by Stephen Daldry (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), this new staging reunites the original creative team behind the show’s global success.

Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or coming back to a favourite, Billy Elliot remains one of the most moving and uplifting musicals to take the stage.

Book Billy Elliot The Musical tickets

The tour opens at Sunderland Empire from 4–28 November 2026, before visiting stopping in Manchester and Edinburgh, ahead of a limited West End season at London’s Adelphi Theatre in 2027. The tour will then continue later in 2027 and into 2028. Given the strength of demand for this landmark return, early booking is strongly recommended.

It’s the mid-1980s. Margaret Thatcher is in power, and the miners’ strike is tearing through communities in County Durham.

For Billy, life is mapped out: boxing lessons, tough love, and a future shaped by expectation. But when he stumbles into a ballet class, everything changes.

As Billy secretly pursues his passion for dance, he faces resistance at home and in his community — and discovers a strength and determination he never knew he had.

Funny, moving and full of heart, Billy Elliot The Musical is a story about finding your voice and daring to follow it.
