Photo Flash: First Look at BILLY ELLIOT: THE MUSICAL at The Media Theatre
The Media Theatre has the region's professional premiere of the 10-time Tony winning BILLY ELLIOT: THE MUSICAL, now through January 3. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Elton John's score enhances the story based on the film of the young boy in a Welsh mining town who wants to do ballet rather than boxing. It all takes place during a miner's strike in the '80's, so Billy's enthusiasm to dance is not quite getting through to his family or the town although a dance instructor sees the gift within.
A truly inspirational story for the holidays, "Billy Elliot" features two boys in the title role. After an extensive search, the two boys who were chosen were both from the Philadelphia region. Gunar Daniels of West Chester and Brandon Ranalli of Media, both 13 years old, share the role.For tickets, call 610-891-0100 or visit mediatheatre.org.
