This will be its 100th season. Judging by the other shows listed (NEWSIES is in the line-up), it puts on some pretty great musicals."Billy Elliot"

All you really have to do is shine!
Set in a northern English mining town, against the background of the 1984 miners' strike, "Billy Elliot" is the inspirational story of a young boy's struggle against the odds to make his dream come true. Billy's journey starts when he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class. There he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and community and changes his life forever.
