Reviews
"[T]he whole cast is blessed with a freshness and sincerity I have rarely seen equalled, and one leaves this triumphant production in a mist of tears and joy."—TelegraphTelegraph: Billy boy, this is the greatest musical yet (May 12, 2005)"Instead of winking condescendingly at the sentimental clichés that drive its plot, ['Billy Elliot'] finds the eternal life in them. For all its conscious craftsmanship, it's the most unself-conscious musical in decades."—The New York TimesThe New York Times: A Miner's Son Who Dreams, Then Dances (June 20, 2005)
