This is a first rate review:

Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts opened the new year with the regional premiere of "Billy Elliot: The Musical" with a production that is as high of a crowning achievement as we are likely to see on a local stage.

Cool -- I'm seeing it this coming Sunday, and then again next Saturday evening!

5 minute drive from where I live.

Looks like they do a good job. Wondering if the lead looks young enough to play 12. We'll see. I'm sure he is amazing regardless.

Yay! A little closer than your trips to NY and London, huh?
