If you want to have fun and at the same time enjoy every emotional experience a human can in 2 and a half hours this is a must! The cast is believable - the talent outstanding. A truly emotional and joyful experience. More

Very good experience, overall. Great quality performance. There are bathrooms on each level, so don't wait in the queue in the main lobby. Seat comfort is not the best - our backs were sore after the 3 hour show. Also... it was bloody hot in the theatre! More

The young cast of Billy Elliot were very good with some stunning dance sequences. However, there were no really memorable tunes (apart from "Electricity"). In contrast to "Wicked", which i saw last year, the scenery is a bit disappointing. The show is good, but not spectacular. More

I had wanted to see this show for a long time. Was I disappointed, certainly not. There were many 'characters' that didn't necessarily have a starring role e.g. the tall gangly legged dancing girl - she played an absolutely comic role which was hillarious. The actors who played Billy and his young friend, who appeared to really love dressing up... More

This is a show where you could return time after time. Nothing like the film this is without doubt one of the best productions in London. From start to finish it has has you stuck firmly to your seat. The actors are excellent and dedicated in their passion. A must see for anyone. More
