Common sense prevails as Billy Elliot returns to Hungary

As a fan, having attended 201 performances of Billy Elliot the Musical across Europe, I was dumbstruck to learn that the show was closed abruptly in Hungary earlier this year (‘Homophobic attack on Billy Elliot in Hungary is a stark warning for us all’, Opinion, July 12, 2018).

But visiting Budapest last week, I called in at the Erkel Theatre to commiserate and maybe remonstrate but was pleasantly surprised to be told it will be back in 2019 at the Erkel Theatre in June and the Opera House in July.

Thank goodness for the behind-the-scenes efforts to secure this common sense solution.
