Billy Elliot is a heart-warming tale of a boy struggle. After making a hit in the world of film, Billy Elliot took the theatres by storm, and now there is a cast recording from the musical. Liam Mower sings the part of Billy on the CD and it features some of the best songs from the show. You can hear snippets from the CD on the official site.
If you haven't seen the musical, then its well worth going to see. I feel it the tops Blood Brothers, Lion King, Phantom of the Opera and many more hit shows. Buy the CD, it will be money well spent.

Billy Elliott.
We had been to see the Musical a month ago in London and were blown away with how great it really was.
I purchased the CD after reading the reviews.
It arrived before due date.
I have it in the car and play it over and over and can't say I am bored of it. It just gets better and better with each play.
A couple of the songs have the odd swear words but it is fully in keeping with the subject matter. The only reason that I can think of that it not being played more on the radio etc are that there are Political stances which may not be to everyone's liking. Anyone who has seen the film will know what I mean.
My advice is don't wait, buy it today, you won't be disappointed.

This is surely a beautiful performance. The music and dances are fantastic. But thats only at the show.. but this CD will give you the taste of the real thing. The music alone is fantastic. Its got all kinds of music, jazz, swing, classical, humour, sad, ballads.. loads! Its fantastic! The second CD (the bonus one) contains the truely special moments of the show.

Great
It's just what you expect it to be - all the songs from the show. Brings memories of the show straight back though you have to adapt to a different cast from the latest of course.
