Adapted from Lee Hall's play, "Dancer," BILLY ELLIOT (2000) explores the pursuit of a young boy's passion for dance, against all odds. Following the film's critical acclaim, singer/songwriter Elton John collaborated with Hall to create the theatrical musical, which met Broadway with 10 Tony awards, including Best Musical.
