Billy Elliot in the Tony opening montage

[7855waldo]

Also thought the music (how much was Elton John's?) was, by the standards of Broadway, quite mediocre. This was very surprising.

Saw BE today (in NYC). Great actors all, but much, much too long;

Paper-thin black/white characterizations (police bad, miners good, Thatcher Evil).

Would have stayed for Act II had there been a Script Doctor in the house.

Ran into Kiril in front of the hirschfeld today he was so cool! congrats!

[msseventeeen]

I agree with kitkat1233,

[drumstar23]

stephen hanna was the one with trent at the end

[kitkat1233]

i wish this part to the opening was longer... i wish they did this song as there performance piece instead of the other song.(Angry dance) ...

[charmingCanadian]

what song is this?

[randomprincess919]

'Electricity' obviously from Billy Elliot

[roccohot]

who was the 'older billys' at the end of this does anyone know their names

[drummenator]

I'm sure Stephen Hanna (who plays Older Billy in the show) was one of them. I don't know about the others.

It was a shame the sound was off through the whole show... it was just terrible in virtually every number. I guess the people who cracked the jokes about the importance of the Best Sound Design Award aren't laughing now!

Btw, Trent was amazing, especially in "The Angry Dance". All three Billy's deserved their shared Best Actor Tony!

[sleepylins]

Love the dream ballet performed to Elton singing electricity,BEAUTIFUL, works so lovely,obviously based on the music video but works so beautifully live, very emotional.

WELL DONE to all at BILLY ELLIOT.:-)

[jkoballerina]

David and Kiril are ballet boys not Trent... Sorry, for me is ridiculous.

[parisian93]

shame about the sound issues at the beginning but this is beautiful, these boys are talented

[billylover94]

amazing and really talented kids

[topito2011]

Really spectacular. Love the Billys work! They are amazing!
