18 year old Rebecca White from Croydon was recently picked at random to win a walk-on part in Billy Elliot the Musical. After rehearsing with the cast, having a costume fitting and a hair & make-up appointment with the Billy Elliot production team she made her West End debut, performing 2 numbers to a crowd of 1,500 theatregoers. Watch Rebecca's experience below.
Based on the Oscar nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical is described as "an inspirational story of one boy’s dream to realise his ambitions against the odds." Set in the North East of England against the background of the historic 1984/85 miners’ strike, Billy pursues his passion for dance in secret to avoid disapproval of his struggling family.
Now in its ninth year at the Victoria Palace Theatre and having been seen by nearly 9.5 million people worldwide across five continents, Billy Elliot the Musical is currently booking to May 2015. Winner of five Olivier Awards, Billy Elliot the Musical has now played over 7000 performances globally and has been seen by over 4 million people in the West End.
