Billy Elliot Musical Outing Hi everyone! We've heard you, and we've managed to give you the musical that you wanted (student price was not available for the most popular choice, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", thus I went with the 2nd most popular option), Billy Elliot! The story, in summary.. "*Set in a northern mining town, against the background of the 1984/’85 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy’s struggle against the odds to make his dream come true. Follow Billy’s journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever... Winner of 5 Laurence Olivier Awards." * For more information about the show, you can read about it here! http ://www . boxoffice . co . uk**/arts-and-theatre-tickets/musica** ls/billy-elliot-tickets . <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/3r7el-1ez6m-omhuzr7p1?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boxoffice.co.uk%2Farts-and-theatre-tickets%2Fmusicals%2Fbilly-elliot-tickets.aspx> aspx <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/3r7el-1ez6m-omhuzr7p1?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boxoffice.co.uk%2Farts-and-theatre-tickets%2Fmusicals%2Fbilly-elliot-tickets.aspx> Due to limited spaces, we regret to inform that this is a *members-only event*.
