![Billy Elliot: The Musical (Original Cast Recording)](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
The music for the Tony Award-winning Billy Elliot—the story of an 11-year-old boy who discovers he prefers ballet over boxing—is not your standard Elton John singer/songwriter fare. It's full-on musical theater—and it's electrifying. Recorded here, the original cast handles the shifting emotional tides—such as the swelling, epic opener, “The Stars Look Down,” the jazzy stage number “Shine," the rock-based “Angry Dance,” and the mercurial mood piece “Grandma’s Song”—with grace and ease.
