Billy Elliot The Musical
Billy Elliot the Musical On November 2, 2010 I attended the Broadway show “Billy Elliot the Musical” at the Durham Performing Arts Center. I must say this show was definitely one of the most emotional Broadway shows I have ever seen. I do not think there was a single dry eye throughout the whole show.
