Perhaps most moving of all is the ‘Dream Ballet’ scene in Act II when Billy dances with his Older Self (given an additional power on this occasion by original Billy, Liam Mower, joining Elliott Hanna).

Billy's subversion of traditional masculine "gender performativity" [74] is highlighted against the contrast of Durham's extremely masculine working-class society. With this focus, Billy Elliot has the position of being "the first mainstream British entertainment to directly interrogate homophobic prejudice as a function of patriarchal society."

Older Billy was played by Liam Mower who was one of three actors to originate the role. Mower played the role of Billy for 18 months, the longest run of any of the Billys. Mower continues to perform, and has appeared in several Matthew Bourne ballets.

Motherless eleven-year-old Billy stays behind after his boxing class to give keys to Mrs. Wilkinson, who runs a ballet class. The class is all girls, but Billy is attracted to the grace of the dance ("Shine").

He compares the dynamic between Billy and his dad with the relationship he had with his own father, admitting that, "I had to be helped sobbing from my seat when it ended!" Daldry is also on hand to explain why the stage version is in many ways more complete than the movie.

On the other hand Billy discovers his love for dancing in ballet and wants to follow that path. Naturally this disgusts his strong proud father and gets him into trouble for disobeying. The whole plot could be the tale of many many northern born men within England at any point in time really. I have lived up north in the UK and it can indeed be a bit bleak with little job prospects for youngsters (no offence to the north). In July and August 2022 a completely new UK production was presented at the Curve, Leicester. The revival, by the theatre's artistic director Nikolai Foster, was the first full-scale staging of Billy Elliot in the UK since the original. It was a completely new staging, with a new set design by Michael Taylor and choreography by Lucy Hind. [71] It was the biggest in-house production that the Curve Theatre has ever mounted.

However, I needn’t have worried, because this excellent piece of musical theatre drama gradually draws in the viewer at home, just as it does when you are present in the theatre. Indeed, by the time I had experienced the emotional rollercoaster that is Billy Elliot the Musical Live, and had witnessed the stunning finale featuring 25 current and former Billy Elliots (including all three originals – James Lomas, George Maguire and Liam Mower) united on stage in a specially choreographed mash-up finale, I couldn’t come up with enough superlatives to describe what a fantastic buy this DVD is.Gans, Andrew (29 September 2014).
