A lot of Broadway plays and performances are touchy and bring up issues that are close to us emotionally. This next play we are about to discuss, the famous Billy Elliot, is a play based on the story of Billy Elliot who simply wants to dance, although the Great Depression and other influential factors around him are pulling him away from his dream. The director of this play, Stephen Daldry, uses a lot of interesting twists that will make audiences – including you and me – asking for more.
It is always difficult to have been denied one’s dream, and Billy Elliot is facing the same conflict. Before you know it, you will be involved in an emotional journey and great story.
If you have experiences with the 1984 Miners’ Strike or the economic downfall of that era, you will be able to easily relate to the story of Billy Elliot. A lot of the issues and conflicts brought up in this play is very close to what most families – or kids – are having in the economic condition we are dealing with today.
Make sure you visit the Imperial Theatre if you want to watch Billy Elliot.

There is a show each day, scheduled at either 2 PM or 7.30 PM, so you will have no trouble at all picking the right day to watch this performance as part of your trip to the Broadway Theatre District.
