The soaring, inspiring story of one boy’s dreams and the power of hope. The theatrical sensation Billy Elliot the Musical hits Sydney
From the multi-award winning creators of the smash-hit film Billy Elliot, this sensational stage
adaptation is a funny, feel-good celebration of a young boy's dreams to be a dancer in a man's
world of hard hats, football boots and boxing gloves.
Set against the historic British miners' strike of the 1980s, this story follows the journey of a young
boy raised in a small mining town who, after stumbling across a ballet class while on his way to
a boxing lesson, realises that his future lays not in the boxing ring, but on stage as a dancer.
This heart-warming story about a boy's triumph over adversity has broken box office records in
London since its world premiere in 2005.

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Marion Potts With Brendan Cowell Hamlet holds ‘as ‘ twere, the mirror up to nature,’ and we are entranced. A reflection of our own age, Hamlet is timeless,
inexhaustible, limitless – a compass pointing the way to the soul of our own discontent.
After the death of his father, Hamlet is besieged by suspicion, apparition and
wild imaginings. Is he mad, or the one solid rock
in a wild storm of treachery
and insanity?
Be drawn into the psychological labyrinth of Hamlet, as Marion Potts delivers a contemporary, poignant interpretation of
arguably Shakespeare’s finest tragedy. Brendan Cowell brings his brilliant intensity to the lead role in this thrilling collaboration. A tangled web of obsession, family secrets and betrayal, Hamlet is the map for a searing examination of life’s true core.
