Despite that, I do feel for the excellent long-serving cast member Barnaby Meredith, who, for this reason, wasn't able to perform his version of the ballet on film. Billy is looked after by his father, brother, and grandfather, after his. The musical is set against the backdrop of the 1984-5 miners strike, which tragically affects the whole village. For this performance only, original Billy Liam Mower returns to play older Billy and it's a beautiful moment, seeing his journey and growth as a dancer, returning to dance with the boy he used to be. Billy Elliot tells the story of a young boy from a coal mining village in northeast England who transcends class and circumstance to become a ballet star. Rated R for language - their language is pretty 'salty'. 46 What does this reading of Billy Elliot tell us about masculinity, sexuality, and dance, particularly in relation to the possibilities of securing heteronormative masculinity through queer performativity 47 On a first reading, Billy Elliot is a mainstream film in its codings of femininity, masculinity, and sexuality.

#BILLY ELLIOT MICHAEL MOVIE#
It's the first rated R movie I've let her watch - because it's worth it. It's a completely different experience to being in the theatre and I don't think you can accurately argue which is better - for this is one entirely unique way to view the show. Billy Elliot is a fantastic movie when I first saw it as a teenager, and just as fantastic watching it recently with my teenager. The breathtaking act 2 sequence is the perfect example of why a recorded version of Billy Elliot is so special, you swoop around the stage, experiencing Billy's flight as you never would - all from the comfort of your sofa. I remember reading The Guardian's 2005 review of the production, questioning the flying section of the dream ballet, calling to declare the West End a "no fly zone".
