Elton John "BILLY ELLIOT" Liam Mower / Haydn Gwynne 2005 London Opening Flyer

Description: This is a rare single page advertising handbill (flyer) promoting ticket sales for the opening of the Original West End production of the Sir ELTON JOHN and LEE HALL musical "BILLY ELLIOT" at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London. (The flyer mentions that the musical would open in April 2005, but the opening was delayed until May 11th, 2005. The production closed April 9th, 2016 after 4600 performances.) ..... With music by Sir ELTON JOHN and book and lyrics by LEE HALL (who wrote the film's screenplay), the musical revolves around motherless Billy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the eighties' coal miners' strike in Northern England. Hall's screenplay was inspired in part by A. J. Cronin's novel, The Stars Look Down, and the musical's opening song is an homage. It was directed by STEPHEN DALDRY and choreographed by PETER DARLING, as was the original film ..... LIAM MOWER, JAMES LOMAS and GEORGE MAGUIRE were the original actors who alternated in the title role, and the supporting cast included HAYDN GWYNNE as Mrs. Wilkinson, ANN EMERY as "Grandma", JOE CAFFREY as "Tony" (Billy's brother) and TIM HEALY as Billy's father ..... CREDITS: Music by Sir ELTON JOHN; Book and Lyrics by LEE HALL; Sets designed by IAN MacNEIL; Costumes designed by NICKY GILLIBRAND; Choreographed by PETER DARLING; Directed by STEPHEN DALDRY; Produced by Working Title Films, Old Vic Productions and David Furnish ..... DETAILS: Advertising handbills (heralds) were distributed or inserted into the playbills of other productions to help generate ticket sales for upcoming shows and events. This single page, two-sided handbill measures 4" X 8 1/4" inches, is printed on a card stock and includes booking information on the backside ..... CONDITION: This rare handbill is in near mint condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
