I saw Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London. I am usually not one for child actors - they're generally sloppy with no sense of humour or personality: I've been proven wrong. Billy Elliot was fantastic. 13 year old kids dancing, acting singing (well the singing wasn't the best) but the show was amazing!! Lots of swearing by the mine workers but the show is authentic and does service to the 1980s and reforms under Margaret Thatcher. The accompaniest doing the splits was pretty impressive too. Just think of someone like the "Family Guy" doing the splits on stage. I would never believe it until I saw it happen.This was a school trip and we took 42 teenagers along. Well worth it for everyone. I'm looking forward to planning the next one :D
