Billy Elliton

Last Saturday , my friend and i went to Victory Theatre to see the musical -Billy Elliton. Before i were going to see it , i knew that it adapted from the film of same name and it spoke a little boy who lived with his single father whom was a miner in the northwest of uk sought his dream of ballet.

When i was sitting in the thearte to see the musical, i were really moved and shaked by it. There were full of contraditions in it , such as studying ballet and studying box, employer and employee, father and son, workers who were on strick with the police and so forth. Especiall, in the musical there were two prime sences given me deep impression. One was the boy struggling in his heart when his father strictly forbade him to learn ballet and another was the boy dreamed him dancing to represent his desire. The former used the boy's dancing compared to the sounds of sticks beaten on the shields of polices. The pain in that boy's heart was discribed vividly. For me I was extremly deeply moved. Music gradually melted into the dance and these made the whole musical full of confliting with contraditions on the stage. I was ever worried about that it could not express completely by musical on the stage . As compared to the film which can display keen contradition confliting through cutting montage it seems that it is diffictult for musical to show the emotion of contradition on the stage. However Bill Elliton have done sucessfully. Billy who speaks with the strong accent of northwest of working class with ballet dream became a typical representation to go through these contraditions.

There are a tremendous team to support it for its success. The music was made by Elton John, the words of song were made by Lee Hall and the director is Stephen Daldry . These factors make this musical deserve watching.

For me, i could see Billy Eillton at last and it is one of the best musical i have been seen.
