I took a trip to London over the weekend and seeing a musical is a must for when you visit the city. On Thursday night, I watched Billy Elliot The Musical at Victoria Palace Theatre... And it was amazing!
Here's why I loved it:
- Every member of the cast was super talented and provided top notch acting, singing and dancing. Ali Rasul (Billy), Anna-Jane Casey (Mrs Wilkinson), Deka Walmsley (Billy's dad), Kevin Wathen (Billy's brother) and Ann Emery (Billy's grandma) were particularly fantastic.
- The staging was brilliant and used the theatre's space really well. It was prepared quickly between scenes so the audience weren't kept waiting!
- The orchestra provided wonderful music, which is the vital component of 'a musical'.
- There was a lot of successful humour in the script making the audience cry with laughter!
Ticket prices vary from £19.50 to £67 depending on what day, time and seat you choose. Click here if you'd like to purchase book seats for Billy Elliot The Musical in advance! Me and my mom managed to buy our's only four hours before the show started! If you fancy last minute buying, head to the ticket office in Leicester Square. We sat in the fourth row on the first floor (brilliant seats!) for £45 each, reduced from £65 each! However, no matter what price you pay, you'll get your money's worth from this amazing three hour show.
