The first ever UK tour of smash-hit, Olivier and Tony Award winning Billy Elliot the Musical to come to Birmingham Hippodrome in 2017.

Universal Stage Productions, Working Title Films and Old Vic Productions (and us!) are excited to announce that we will be one of the ten venues that will host the first ever UK tour of acclaimed Billy Elliot the Musical, from 7 March – 6 May 2017.

The winner of ten Tony Awards and five Olivier Awards, Billy Elliot the Musical has been seen by over 10.5 million people across five continents and is set to add Birmingham to its long list of audiences.

Based on the highly successful film, the show is set in a northern mining town against the background of the 1984/’85 miners’ strike and follows Billy’s journey from boxing to ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever.

Billy Elliot the Musical Producer Eric Fellner said:

“Having recently celebrated ten extraordinary years of Billy Elliot the Musical in London, we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring a new touring production of this inspiring show to fans across the UK and Ireland and the chance to delight new audiences along the way.”

Tickets for Billy Elliot will go on sale from April 2016 and there will be an advance priority booking period for Birmingham Hippodrome Friends.
