Pantages Theatre and Billy Elliot the Musical Celebrate Tutu Day, 2/2

In honor of its upcoming L.A. premiere engagement of Billy Elliot THE MUSICAL, the Pantages Theatre is declaring that Thursday 2/2 to be "Tutu Day." The very unofficial celebration is being marked by several celebrations involving the beautiful, inspirational and versatile tutu. In Billy Elliot THE MUSICAL, the tutu is not just a piece of dancewear, but it comes to symbolize personal expression and the dream of one boy that inspires an entire community.
