Paramount Theatre is presenting the Tony Award winning musical “Billy Elliot, The Musical” now through March 24 at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora.
The music of Elton John brings to life the story of Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old English boy who stumbles upon a ballet class during his weekly boxing lesson. His surprise love for dance must be hidden at all costs, especially from his coal miner father.
With the help from his sharp-tongued teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson, Billy gets the chance to attend a prestigious ballet school and must decide what is most important: doing what he loves or doing what other people want.
Billy Elliot is a coming-of-age story that inspires us all to do what you love no matter what other people think.
The show, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical, includes music by Elton John and lyrics by Lee Hall. It was originally directed by Stephen Daldry with orchestrations by Martin Koch.
Tickets are available here.
The Paramount Theatre is located at 23 east Galena Boulevard in Aurora.
