There are plans for the first UK and Ireland tour of Billy Elliott the musical has been announced, opening at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on 24th February 2016 viiting ten other venues until May 2017.
There’s also hope Billy Elliot might return to London - perhaps in two or three years’ time. And although the stage show was the offspring of the 2000 movie written by Lee Hall there is a desire to make a picture based on the musical. Hall and Elton John, who wrote the music, and both are eager for this to happen.
Fellner, who runs Working Title films has confirmed that the Billy Elliot musical movie project was ‘chugging along on active development’. It’s three or four years away,’ Stephen Daldry insisted the new film would be wholly different from the 2001 one saying ‘We’d probably look at the miners’ strike in more detail'.
