If you loved the stage musical, then prepare yourself for Billy Elliot the Musical Live, which takes the London West End production and broadcasts for U.S. audiences. In this exclusive interview, Elton John discusses the impact of the story and writing the music for the musical upon his own career and the importance it has for millions of other fans.
The film features Liam Mower, who makes his return to the show in the role of Older Billy for this special event, having been the first boy ever to play the role of Billy Elliot on stage in 2005. The event will also include a special welcome from Elton John, who composed the music for show, and a 5-minute backstage tour led by Elliott Hanna, who will play the role of Billy Elliot.
In addition, 25 current and former Billy Elliots will unite on stage in a specially choreographed mash-up finale. All three original Billy Elliots -- James Lomas, George Maguire and Liam Mower -- will take part in the performance.
Billy Elliot the Musical Live will be screened in select U.S. cinemas for three showings only: Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., Nov 15 at 12:55 p.m. & Nov. 18 at 7 pm.
