The iconic musical, featuring music from Sir Elton John, is based on the 2000 film of the same name and follows the titular Billy Elliot, a young boy from a northern mining town in the '80s, as he discovers a love of ballet, defying the expectations of his hyper-masculine environment.

The 2026 tour of Billy Elliot the Musical will begin on 4th November at the Sunderland Empire, before heading to Manchester, Edinburgh and the West End's Adelphi Theatre from 12th February to 31st July 2027. Tickets are on sale now for all shows.

Speaking about the revival, composer Elton John and director Stephen Daldry said: "Creating Billy Elliot the Musical was one of the most joyous and inspiring moments of our careers, so to bring the show back for a UK tour and a season in the West End for the first time in over a decade is both incredibly emotional and exciting.

"It’s bold, it’s British, it’s full of heart and the story feels more relevant than ever. We can’t wait for a whole new generation to experience it!"
