The Broadway Billys (David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish) let some cameras in on their rehearsal.

The multi-award winning Billy Elliot the Musical with Haydn Gwynne, Gregory Jbara, Carole Shelley, Santino Fontana, and introducing David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish will open at Broadway's Imperial Theatre (240 W 45th St) Thursday, November 13th.  Featuring music by Elton John, book and lyrics by Lee Hall and directed by Stephen Daldry, Billy Elliot the Musical begins previews Wednesday, October 1st.  Based on the Universal Pictures/Studio Canal film, the show is produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jon Finn and Sally Greene. Angela Morrison and David Furnish are Executive Producers.  For tickets and information visit billyelliotbroadway.com.

Billy Elliot the Musical is the funny, heartwarming tale of a young boy with a dream, and a celebration of his triumph against the odds.  Set against the historic British miners' strike of the 1980s, the story follows Billy's journey as a boy in a small mining town who, after stumbling across a ballet class while on his way to a boxing lesson, realizes that his future lay not in the boxing ring but on stage as a dancer.
