BILLY CLUB

We love the film Billy Elliot unabashedly.

We get it out every now and again to have a good solid emotional bender.

I understand that we are part of a large international fan club who, if not a cult, are mutual lovers of the idea of dance and how it lives in each one of us.

Now, it is a great pleasure to read the NYT review of the musical

In Hard Times, Born to Pirouette

The LATimes guy didn't like it as much. So much for him.

It is touching to read the loving review in the NYT. It has exactly my reaction to the film and the material itself.

I am so pleased for everyone involved especially Mr. Daldry who directed both the film and the musical.

The New York production is, actually, one of many road versions now following the London premiere.

There are a hell of a lot of young "Billies" (three per production) getting their own break out of this wonderful undertaking.
