Strap yourselves in for a wholesome night out at the theatre as Billy Elliot The Musical is set to take over The Star Gold Coast from Thursday July 6 to Sunday July 30. Presented by Matt Ward Entertainment, this much-anticipated theatre production was named Time Magazine’s “Best Musical of the Decade!”, and had hugely successful runs in London, Sydney and on Broadway. The coming-of-age tale is set to a score by pop-music icon Elton John, so you just know you’ll be tapping your feet and humming along throughout.

Set in a northern English mining town, against the background of the 1984 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 from the boxing ring to a ballet class, where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and community and changes his life forever.

Tickets for Billy Elliot The Musical start from $75 each and can be purchased via The Star Gold Coast website.
