"Billy Elliot" - Review by Carol Moore
**** Highly Recommended The Paramount Theatre production of "Billy Elliot: The Musical", stark, dark, industrial, is magnificent. Superb acting, larger than life production numbers, incredible dancing – both ballet and tap – demand your attention, and yet, in the middle of all that spectacle, there are all these small quietly emotional scenes, too. The miners are men’s men, the strikers and the police have violent clashes, the little girls giggle, but the emotions are honest and open. Gritty, sometimes violent, often profane, but in the end triumphant, "Billy Elliot" gets 4 BIG Spotlights.
