 Billy Elliot on B'way -- AMAZING, Nov 15, 2008 |
| reviewer: Kevin from Fort Lauderdale, FL USA |
| I LOVED this show -- as did the audience the night I saw it. You cannot help but cheer for Billy and his quest to pursue his newfound dream of becoming a dancer. The children in the cast are amazingly talented -- just superb. The woman lead who plays Mrs. Wilkinson (the ballet teacher) is phenomenal. Actually - everyone in the cast is just excellent, and the music by Elton John will have you riveted. The staging was unique and quite interesting -- I loved the way they tied the dancing into the miners' strike and the scenery flows effortlessly into and out of the stage keeping the action and flow of the story contstantly moving forward. This is a show with a message about celebrating your own individuality -- and you will leave cheering and smiling. A must see!! |

 Not as good as the movie, Apr 13, 2009 |
| reviewer: LJ from NYC |
| If you saw the movie first like I did, be prepared to be disappointed by the live show. There's no way they can replicate the dancing in the movie to a live show. |

Bring a box of tissues, Oct 21, 2009 |
| reviewer: Anna from Florida, USA |
| It was wonderful! You don't notice the accents after a while-- the story and the emotion grip you and you become totally immersed in the story and the lives of the characters. It is powerful, like Les Miz, and the sets are reminiscent of it as well. The finale is light in nature but culminates a memorable event! A must see! |

 Super show but uncomfortable seats in the Imperial, Oct 25, 2009 |
| reviewer: Rob Koot from Unterägeri, Switzerland |
| We saw the show on Sept.29, 2009 with Kiril Kulish as Billy. Amazing dancing and a show to remember. Only negative thing is the seating. Rows are so close together that I could not sit. Had to sit in isle-seat and put legs to the side. Took part of the joy away as it was uncomfortable. I am only 1.96 mtr (6'5") but seems you must cope with that as part of the charm of an old theatre as there are no alternatives. I had expected a bit more consideration from the theatre for a ticket of USD140,=. Be aware all you tall people, the Imperial Theatre only sits people under 6'. Better see this show in a different theatre. |

 not a family play, Jun 18, 2010 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555 |
| walked out of this show...very vulgar language!!! Definitely not a family production. Very disappointing. Acting was great but not great enough to stay and listen to the vulgar and crude language. |

Gives your emotions a work out......., Apr 09, 2010 |
| reviewer: Bridget from Western Canada |
| ....if you want to be "moved" emotionally - this is the right show. You'll cry, (I actually sobbed in parts), and you'll giggle, (or laugh right out loud). This show deserves all of the wonderful accoladades it has received. |

AMAZING!!!!, May 01, 2010 |
| reviewer: Paige from West Tisbury, MA, USA |
| I saw this show on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre in New York City with my mum!!! It was AMAZING!!! We had Michael Dameski playing Billy and he was just incredible!!! AMAZING dancer, AMAZING singer, and AMAZiNG actor!!! And after I got to meet him!!! He hugged me!!!! I got his autograph, he said I had a pretty name and that he would love to see me dance!!! Very polite. He was so charming!!! I really empathized with Billy knowing that I love to dance but I just quite can't. There were some pretty funny songs and scenes in there, such as "Expressing Yourself" and much more... The ballet girls were excellent dancers and had a great sense of comic timing. Plus the posh dad (who I met also) and the ballet teacher. I love ballet and my mum was born and raised in England, when the miners' strike was going on so this play has special meaning to me. Great job to Michael, Thommie, Donnie, and the rest of the cast...well done! ♥ |

Late arrivals, May 24, 2011 |
| reviewer: E Jack from Scotland |
| We went to see this show on Sat 14 May and were amazed at the number of late arrivals to this show which spoiled our enjoyment. Some as late as 30minutes and still allowed to take their seats. Would not happen here!! The girl in front spent the whole time sending texts on her mobile. The show was excellent but the interuptions did spoil our night. In fact we were on the point of walking out. Maybe just a bad night. |

 Pure Propaganda, Jun 13, 2011 |
| reviewer: Michael from New York |
| Execution of the message was fine...the message is the issue. Not exactly for little children , though it's socialist "progressive" indoctrination is geared to a childlike mind. Unnecessary profanity for shock value and to fill the empty space...gee, old ladies and little kids cursing...too easy. One redeeming point, you could barely understand what was being said so if you concentrate on the signing and dancing, the pro labor, pro gay , pro socialist message wont be so obtrusive. But still , little kids signing about wishing Maggie Thatcher dead!! Hate is hate.. on either side of the aisle. |

Best Musical I Have Seen, Nov 27, 2011 |
| reviewer: Karina from New Jersey |
| Billy Elliot is one of the most amazing plays in my opinion. At first, I did not want to see this musical because I expected the worst. Boy was I wrong! This play is a must-see and I really want to see it before it leaves. There was comedy, dancing(quite amazing for an 11 year old), singing, a few shed tears, and the entire audience wanted to get up. I cannot stress how amazing it was. You Must see it. The play did have some bed language, a few f bombs, so probably children 10 and up. Overall it was an amazing experience that should not be missed. ALso, there was good food around. Go see it!!!!! :) |
