Musical Review
Billy Elliot
the Musical
(2005)
Stephen Daldry directs an amazing musical about the very well known film
called Billy Elliot, a
great story about a boy that fights for the dream of becoming a ballet dancer
instead of becoming a boxer like his father wanted him to be. Stephen Daldry
directs the musical with phenomenal music, acting, dancing, stunts, and a great
storyline.
This musical is
set in the mid-1980s in UK which is demonstrated through well-prepared scenery. Billy Elliot is the main character of this musical
because of where great the amazing things he does throughout the course of it.
The other characters also play important roles in the musical. Ali Rasul (Billy
Eliot) didn’t like boxing, but when he started dancing ballet he realized it
was his passion. His dad
(Deka Walmsley) didn’t want him to dance because he thought dancing was only
for girls. Mrs. Wilkinson (Anna-Jane Cassey) was on Billy’s side and together
they made everyone realize how great of a dancer he actually was. This changed
his life forever.
Ali Rasul was
an amazing and brilliant interpreter, he could do anything you can imagine he
did stunts, danced, sang, and more. Anna-Jane Cassey was multi-talented, and
everything she did was graceful and beautiful. These two actors are my favorite
performers in this musical. They did a great job. Anna Emery did the
grandmother role and she was awesome! She was older than most of the other
actors but the beauty of her performance was inexplicable. She was also very
funny.
Billy
Elliot was an amazing
musical. It was very well
prepared. My favorite aspects of the musical were the wide-range of talent from
each actor and the stage’s ability to quickly change scenes. The costumes had
many variety, there were big, small, large, short, narrow, wide and different
colors, it was gorgeous, really loved it. The music by Elton John was great
each word was relevant to the story. I disliked the length of the play because as
the majority o the people goes to see it at a late hour most of them would probably
fell asleep.
Aside from the amazing performance the story taught me that if you want
something you need to fight for it. Billy
never gave up when his dad didn’t want him to dance ballet. He continued
dancing because he loved it. I also learned that no one can force you to do
something you don’t want to do because you have freedom to do as you wish.
I would
recommend anyone to see this musical because it’s an inspiring musical for all
ages. Probably there would be something little you are going to dislike but I’m
sure there will always be something you’re going to like. It has a great
variety of talent during all 3 hours including the interval.
