Billy Elliot the Musical

Lyceum Theatres
324 Horton Plz San Diego

Set to what the New York Post called Elton John's "best score yet," and named "Broadway Musical of the Decade" by TIME magazine, the explosive Billy Elliot: The Musical fills The Lyceum Stage in San Diego with inspiring songs and high-energy dance. Based on the hit film of the same name, this heartwarming show is about a motherless boy in a small, poverty-stricken mining town who trades his boxing gloves for ballet shoes and fights against social stereotypes to achieve his dream of becoming a dancer. His talent and ambition become symbols of hope for a town that's enduring more than its fair share of hardship. Follow Billy's journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering a passion for dance that inspires both his family and his community. This production of Billy Elliot from California Youth Conservatory features a talented cast of both adult and youth performers, as well as a special appearance by the Gay Men's Chorus of San Diego.
