Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Billy Elliot: The Musical!
Went to see it this past week while in NY, and the newcomer, Tanner Pfleuger was in the role of Billy. Can not believe this much talent is wrapped up in one 14 year old! He and the entire cast were absolutely divine. Best musical Ive seen EVER and Ive seen a lot of them.
Best show I have seen in years. I have seen it twice already. The story, music and performers are amazing to watch. It always leaves me feeling emotional...sad, happy and wonderful!!!

Review: The finest production seen on Broadway in YEARSbyOV1706701
Everything about this show - the story, the music, the brilliant acting, the incredible dancing, ALL of it, is as good as good can be. While the show will run you through the gamut of emotions, it never stops being 100% pure entertainment. Its worth a revisit - over and over again!
The new Broadway season begins with Burn the Floor, featuring Dancing With the Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff. Off-Broadway sees the new musical Vanities, Buck Henry and Holland Taylor in Mother, Lucy Thurber's Monstrosity, and Ariane Mnouchkine and Declan Donnellan-helmed works at the Lincoln Center Festival.
