The current cast of Billy Elliot includes West End legend Ruthie Henshall as Mrs Wilkinson, plus Deka Walmsley as Billy’s dad, Chris Grahamson as Tony and Ann Emery as Grandma. The show is based on the Oscar nominated movie and has been wowing London’s theatergoers at the Victoria Palace Theatre since 2005.
When Billy Elliot closed in the West End in 2016, 42 boys had played the title role. During the 11 years that the show ran at the Victoria Palace Theatre the musical about the bairn that wanted to do ballet kickstarted the careers of some very familiar faces including Spiderman himself, Tom Holland and stage star/current Strictly Come DancingThe fact that Billy Elliot the Musical Live began at 2pm, meaning that cinemas could still programme films in their regular evening slots, represented a big win for them.
