Billy Elliot Returns to the West End, With an Original Billy Watching Over the New Ones

Billy Elliot the Musical is coming back to the West End in 2027, landing at the Adelphi Theatre with four new boys in the title role and Liam Mower, one of the original Billys from the 2005 production, returning as Older Billy. The production is a bet that the show's emotional core still works twenty-plus years on. Given what the West End is currently doing with revival programming, it is a bet worth examining.
