"Billy Elliot" Broadway-bound?
Thursday, September 14 2006

If you believe the New York Post, Elton John’s critically acclaimed musical “Billy Elliot” may indeed have a Broadway debut in its future.

The stage production, an adaptation of the 2000 film about a working-class English boy who wants to be a ballet dancer, has been a hit in London’s West End.

However, Elton, director Stephen Daldry and writer Lee Hall are going back to work to make the show a bit more accessible to an American audience, prior to its scheduled 2008 debut here.

Says producer Eric Fellner in the New York Post: “Stephen decided that if we’re going to take the show to Broadway and other places, we really want it to be as strong as possible. He felt he could do better. Lee and Elton felt they could do better.”
