IF YOU LIKED THE MOVIE YOU WON'T LIKE THE PLAY
The play is loosely based on the movie. It's almost a whole different story about a boy during the British coalminers' strike who wants to learn ballet. That's just about where the similarities stop. I was really bored because it didn't have any of the excitement of the movie. The acting was only so-so except for Cook, who played Billy Elliot. He was awesome and I expect we'll hear from him again. Bottom line...save your money and just go rent the movie.

BILLY ELLIOT
I agree. save your money and rent the movie. It was difficult to understand the accents. The Billy that I saw fell several times.He didn't sing well. He was not in sinc in the dream scene. You actually watch the adult dancer hooking and unhooking the safety harness. Very weird. . I thought there would be better dancing by all. And singing, it is a musical! The only exciting part was the finale dance. By far my least favorite musical.
Disappointed from Kansas City, Missouri
GOOD DANCING BUT FOUL LANGUAGE
I went with my parents to see Billy Elliott last night at the Kansas City Music Hall. Unlike the movie the play has numerous foul words. There is a parental guidance for the play that is for audiences over 12 but I believe it needs to be older. I am almost 26, and use the occasional bad word, but if I had children they would not be seeing this play. I could handle a few curse words here and there but when they repeatedly use the F-word or "Piss off" I have a problem. These words should not be in a 12+ year olds musical. I don’t think the language was needed to express the casts’ feelings (it wasn’t in the movie). The dancing was great (4 stars!) but I would not see this play again unless the language is changed which is a shame because I believe it has a great story line and message for children and adolescents. Please change some of the language so that I could someday take my child to the theater to see this musical.. otherwise I will stick with the movie (child friendly)version
