On Sunday 28 September, Billy Elliot the Musical is set to bring cinemagoers to their feet when the global stage phenomenon is broadcast live from the West End in London to cinemas around the world.

Based on the Academy Award nominated film Billy Elliot, the musical has been dazzling London's theatregoers at the Victoria Palace Theatre since 2005 and has gone on to captivate audiences around the world, winning over eighty theatre awards globally including ten, 2009 Tony awards and five Olivier awards.

Set in a Northern mining town, against the background of 1984/85 miners' strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy's struggle against the odds to make his dream come true.  Billy's journey takes him out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever.

The internationally celebrated show which has now been seen by over 9.5 million people worldwide, is brought to life by the multiple award-winning creative team behind the film including writer Lee Hall (book & lyrics), Director Stephen Daldry and choreographer Peter Darling joined by music legend Elton John who composed the show's score.

Showing in Malta exclusively at the Empire Cinema, Bugibba at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and at St James Cavalier, Valletta at 2.30pm.  Booking is now open.
