Billy Elliot- Dancing for Life

Tickets for the Billy Elliot Musical are now available on discount on Gift-tours.com. Based on the smash hit movie the musical thrills London’s citizens with its moving story about a boy whose strong wish it is to dance.

Billy Elliot is one of the members of our society who has to fight against prejudices and conditionings. Billy’s dreams differ from the other boy’s visions: He is neither interested in boxing nor in becoming a famous football player. His only wish is to dance. Set in 1984 against the backdrop of the miner’s strike, Billy’s dream is scandalous. During this period only few boys danced ballet, especially in the countryside. Nevertheless, he keeps on focusing on his dream and finally succeeds in becoming a star on the ballet heaven.

Is our society still as intolerant as in 1984 or is it meanwhile accepted that boys sometimes prefer dancing to playing football? According to studies, boys are still the minority in dance courses, but this is not necessarily a matter of intolerance of the society. Considering the evolution there were always differences between the preferences of the sexes. Of course there is and will be always intolerance in our society, but in regards to the fact that meanwhile guy marriages are partially tolerated, we can assume that tolerance has increased.

All in all the musical at Victoria Palace does not only tell the story about a boy fighting for his dream. Billy Elliot is also a story about family relations and about a teenager holding his ground against the clique. Rated as “the greatest musical yet” by the Daily Telegraph, the show provides an outstanding entertainment. Tickets are now offered for almost half the price by Gift-tours.com.
