Billy Elliot sweeps Tony awards

The hit musical Billy Elliot has won 10 Tony Awards! The Broadway production won the award for Best musical, Best actor and the director won a Tony too. The British musical is based on Billy Elliot the film they were both directed by Stephen Daldry. He feels blessed able to work on the extraordinary story. He and friend, and helper, Sir Elton John were happy the musical had been accepted on Broadway. The musical started when the world had a hard time economically but the musical became popular and as Sir Elton John said: “You opened up your wallets and you opened up your hearts to us. And we love you for it, thank you."

I am a great musical fan and I cannot wait for this musical to come to Holland. The story of Billy Elliot is so moving and beautiful I would love seeing it in theatre. It is great for the director, producer, actors and all the people who helped, to win these prizes. In these, economically hard, times it is a great challenge to get people to theatres. Everybody has been watching there money during the past few months and it is great to see that, despite the fact that people have been saving money, so many have come and visited this musical.
