CLOC Musical Theatre presents Billy Elliot, The Musical

Get ready to be Electrified!

CLOC is bringing the Victorian Non-Professional Premiere of Billy Elliot, The Musical to the National Theatre St Kilda stage from 10 to 25 May, 2024.

Billy Elliot is one of the most heart-warming, coming-of-age stories of a working-class boy’s discovery of his love for dance and his battle to pursue his passion against the pressure to conform to his circumstances.

It underscores a powerful message: “accept yourself and never give up your dreams”.

This uplifting story is set against a community’s struggle for the right to work during the 1984 Coal Miners’ Strike in Great Britain.

Co-director/Choreographer Lynette White, Co-Director/Set Designer Chris White and Musical Director, David Clausen-Wisken, bring considerable experience to their roles, having extensively directed musicals and shows across Victoria.

Boasting 10 Tony Awards, 10 Drama Desk Awards, 4 Olivier Awards and 7 Helpmann Awards (including Best Musical in each case), Billy Elliot The Musical is based on the 2000 international smash-hit film and features a stunning score by music legend Sir Elton John.

Bookings can be made at cloc.org.au.
