So much better when seen live... The bass sounds here are really powerful and you can actually feel the music vibrating through your body. Saw this in May in London - extraordinary. Really powerful. This makes you want to jump onstage and dance with him!
My favorite moment out of of all the musicals I've ever seen. Even though this vid is crap quality, it makes me cry from just remembering how I felt sitting there.
so great, but this is a number that can really only be experienced at it's fullest live as the opening steps radiate through the audience like thunder
I saw this wen I went to new York nd this was by far the best danceing I hve ever seen by someone this age he was amazinggggg nd he was 12!(wel the person who played Billy Elliot when I saw was)

@luckmed1967 i kniw right ! i saw his preformance he puts alot of angry in the dance and does it faster! i saw him do it when my class went on the trip to the musical
@luckmed1967 i know right ! i saw his preformance he puts alot of angry in the dance and does it faster! i saw him do it when my class went on the trip to the musical
when i saw it on broadway (and whick im going to see for a second time on sunday) it was much louder and, well, intense when i saw it. my billy was Alex Ko........... BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Chaoshero22 Hey, I highly advocate straight theater as well, but you do have to admit that this song is POWERFUL. Maybe it's just because i have seen it live, because when you see it live, you get chills.
@TheBroadwaybabe01 Because his dad and brother don't want to let him go to audition at the National Ballet School, or dance at all. It's really truly an amazing show. I cried multiple times. It's definitely worth seeing :)
This was my favorite scene of the whole musical. This musical was absolutely amazing!! My grandma took me for my birthday and I literally cried because the dancing was so beautiful and I couldn't believe how much talent the boy who played Billy has. Absolutely amazingg!

@WhitexTigerxHinata I saw one like that too in Chicago lol also like some others I was brought to tears at the sight of the actors' passion and talent
I saw Alex Ko a few days ago, omg and he was amazing. I can describe how impressed i was with him. haha his performance made me fall in love with that little boy. Poor Alex though, his dad died.
Well I have seen one, and the boys who plays billy looks same, but only the face! Especially if you sit on the top on the balcony. Like I did. And I think we had Ollie Gardner. And he was the best!!
I saw Ollie Gardner just yesterday! And it's really difficult to describe just how amazing this is live! Ollie Gardner can TAP! And it's INCREDIBLY loud!
ive seen three billys, sam angell, brad wilson and olly gardner. brad was definately my favourite, then olly, then sam. they were all amazing and very different but brad was definately the best
the boy that played billy didnt fit wat i thought the billy would look like but he was so good to watch no matter wat
do people actually remember that the boys playing billy are 12,13,14 years old so i wouldnt say anything about them not being good because i dont no any boys that could do this
I went to see the Melbourne Billy Elliot and Josh Denyer was performing. He was spectacular. Honestly, a boy of that talent can bring you to tears. He just made you want to start thrusting your body around and get up and dance along with him. AMAZING
You can't judge it from just a recording, unless you've seen it you have no idea. And also lots of the Billys in Broadway came from the London show seeing as it originated there.
I saw it on broadway about a month ago and this part left everybody speechless. It was just so amazing and the atomosphere was so intense that you couldn't help but be wowed.
I actually had the priviledge of meeting the boy who played Billy on my night, Tommy Batchelor. After the play we went and ate at subway and he walked in. So we got a picture with him. He is so amazing, as are all the Billys. :)
I remember when I went to New York a few weeks ago and saw this on Broadway... holy crap.
The kid playing Billy was astounding. It was so amazing and by the end of the song I could barely breathe because of the anxiety that had built up. It's a fantastic song and dance and it's so amazing to watch in person.
i was at this last saterday and i was sitting 8 rows from the front and it is a very moving musical both funny and extreamly emotional and the boys who play billy deserve alot of credit i have been to alot of musicals i meen alot and this has been by far the best one for an emotional connection to the story and als really makes u laugh with the whole margret thater lol just a great performance all round no faults what so ever.
i went to watch billy elliot and t was absoloiutley amazing, its the best show i have ever seen. this scene was my favourite one cos his tapping is just amazing and has such a high impact. you cant get the real atmosphere from this video- you really need to go and see it. this is so good x
Eh... I don't like the part in the dance where Billy is in his room, because in the plays, the room is too restrictive to allow him any motion, and it shows in the dancing. The rest is just fantastic, though.
I know, I know, I just don't think the symbolism of the play should inflict upon the more surface aspects of it, though I see where you're all coming from.
Thank you so much for posting this. It was Leon who played Billy the first time I saw the show, and there were tears running down my face - which never happens, certainly not in public. :) I've been to see the show sevral times since (something else I NEVER do!) but always with different Billys. ts great to see Leon do it again. Thanks.. (And the fool on here who is talking about the boys not getting an education doesnt know what he is talking about. These kids are better schooled than most!)
I saw this while it was still in previews back in 2005. George Maguire was Billy that night, and his Angry Dance floored me. I remember him practically flinging himself into the riot shields, and 'collapsing' at the end, only to get back up Rocky-style and give almost a mini-encore. It looks like they took that last bit out of the actual production, but it still looks quite incredible.
I saw this last year with Fox Jackson-Keen - it's brilliant. This is good but the real thing is a million times better - definitely go and see it if you can!
This was my favourite scene. I didn't even like tap much before this.
what's illegal? Letting kids perform on stage? As long as they have school, and don't perform every single day, it's fine. I know that broadway has 3 billy's and 2 michaels, because the roles are so demanding. But children acting isn't illegal
I saw this on opening night and it was the best theatre experience of my life. Becuase it was their first time with the big audience, all the emotions were so high and so was the adreneline- so you can imagine that this part in particular was outstanding, it really hit you, I was in tears throughout the whole thing.
This was probably around 1 year in London. The angry dance has changed so much since then. So many things have been added to make it run more smoothly. All my 4 times I've seen Billy Elliot down here in Australia, I've always been looking forward to the Angry Dance. Such a show piece of angst and drama.
The fact that the kid could move by the end of the show is a feat by itself. This show iw HARD for ANYONE, and they're got kids doing it!! *impressed to death*
Anyways, it's neat seeing a different version of it. This one had less other people in it than the one I show, but it's every bit as good.
Honestly, the first time I saw this dance, it scared me, which isn't a good thing to be expiriencing in the nosebleed section of the audience!
I became interested in musical theatre a year ago by that time Leon had allready left Billy Elliot. I admire him so much! All I have seen of him is whats on youtube but still its the most inspiring thing ever. Leon if you ever read this thankyou so much! It was you who inspired me to dance! Thanks for uploading this to. Leon's got talent I hope one day I will be able to dance like this :)
i saw leon ans he was the best!the ultimate best!he even waved to me when i shouted i love you billy' because i did a standing ovation and was screaming when he bowed at the end so he smsiled and waved at me!xoxox
i saw bily eliot on thursady and omg ive never seen anything so amazing!it was absolutley brilliant and the boy who played it was abslutley amazing like all the dances he did! this was th best dance along with the cross dressing song!
First off, I'm an American. And I love America. Don't you DARE (any of you) say anything negative about this country. Secondly, I love Europe. I've been there twice and have only met genuinly good people. I think it's very immature of everyone involved in this argument, no matter which side you're on. There's a video above these hateful messages about a kid dancing his heart out. That's the great thing about musicals. They bring people around the world TOGETHER positively.
while I admire your viewpoint, and think positive thought is always best, there's something negative about every country, including America, and including every country in Europe. No country is perfect.
When I saw this in London a few weeks ago, I cried at this bit because he was such an amazing dancer!

Billy Elliot is fucking brilliant!
It's touching and moving; one moment it makes you smile en the next moment cry.
My favorite parts are The Angry Dance, the Swan Lake scene and The Letter (reprise).
But the most touching moment is in the end when Billy's leaving: "Hey! Dancingboy!"
Holy fucking shit... these kids are brilliant; this show is brilliant.

Thank you so much for posting this. It was Leon who played Billy the first time I saw the show, and there were tears running down my face - which never happens, certainly not in public. :) I've been to see the show sevral times since (something else I NEVER do!) but always with different Billys. ts great to see Leon do it again. Thanks.. (And the fool on here who is talking about the boys not getting an education doesnt know what he is talking about. These kids are better schooled than most!)

I saw this while it was still in previews back in 2005. George Maguire was Billy that night, and his Angry Dance floored me. I remember him practically flinging himself into the riot shields, and 'collapsing' at the end, only to get back up Rocky-style and give almost a mini-encore. It looks like they took that last bit out of the actual production, but it still looks quite incredible.

I saw this last year with Fox Jackson-Keen - it's brilliant. This is good but the real thing is a million times better - definitely go and see it if you can!
This was my favourite scene. I didn't even like tap much before this.

tis illegal
qwertywerty42 3 years ago
what's illegal? Letting kids perform on stage? As long as they have school, and don't perform every single day, it's fine. I know that broadway has 3 billy's and 2 michaels, because the roles are so demanding. But children acting isn't illegal

there actually are child labor laws against it in certain countries, america isnt one of them though.
rampaige707 2 years ago

americas broadway and englands west end are the main stage places anyway.

I saw this on opening night and it was the best theatre experience of my life. Becuase it was their first time with the big audience, all the emotions were so high and so was the adreneline- so you can imagine that this part in particular was outstanding, it really hit you, I was in tears throughout the whole thing.

This was probably around 1 year in London. The angry dance has changed so much since then. So many things have been added to make it run more smoothly. All my 4 times I've seen Billy Elliot down here in Australia, I've always been looking forward to the Angry Dance. Such a show piece of angst and drama.

The fact that the kid could move by the end of the show is a feat by itself. This show iw HARD for ANYONE, and they're got kids doing it!! *impressed to death*
Anyways, it's neat seeing a different version of it. This one had less other people in it than the one I show, but it's every bit as good.
Honestly, the first time I saw this dance, it scared me, which isn't a good thing to be expiriencing in the nosebleed section of the audience!

I became interested in musical theatre a year ago by that time Leon had allready left Billy Elliot. I admire him so much! All I have seen of him is whats on youtube but still its the most inspiring thing ever. Leon if you ever read this thankyou so much! It was you who inspired me to dance! Thanks for uploading this to. Leon's got talent I hope one day I will be able to dance like this :)

OK THATS IT.
First off, I'm an American. And I love America. Don't you DARE (any of you) say anything negative about this country. Secondly, I love Europe. I've been there twice and have only met genuinly good people. I think it's very immature of everyone involved in this argument, no matter which side you're on. There's a video above these hateful messages about a kid dancing his heart out. That's the great thing about musicals. They bring people around the world TOGETHER positively.

while I admire your viewpoint, and think positive thought is always best, there's something negative about every country, including America, and including every country in Europe. No country is perfect.

What is he angry about?
Jaisen 3 years ago
He may not dance from his father
and that's why he is so angry
He is also angry or scared about the situation in his family, with the mine that is closing down...
