Sir Elton John
was so moved by the hit British film Billy Elliot that
he agreed immediately to write the songs for the musical
version.
Speaking at the official launch of the musical, Sir Elton said the theme of a father failing to understand the artistic aspirations of his son had mirrored his own upbringing. He was reduced to tears when he saw the first screening of the film at the Cannes festival four years ago. The film and now the musical tell the story of how a miner is horrified when his son, Billy, takes up dancing. Gradually he comes round to help the talented youngster win a place at the Royal Ballet School.
