That's how I'd sum up Billy Elliot The Musical which my family and myself went to visit earlier tonight. I'd never actually seen the film before so I didn't really expect the content to be earthy but that's how I tend to like most of my humour without being too juvenile! The child in the lead role did a superb performance and the visual elements looked really good although we saw a bit more than we were meant to as we were sat on the top row!
This was my first musical since going to see 'Mamma Mia' on a secondary school visit back in December 1999 although the thing I will remember most about that visit is that it triggered a crush on the helper I had looking after me on the visit along with the Rose Royce track 'Is It Love You're After' which I had playing on my Walkman on the way back from the performance! That's possibly what lead me to where I am now in terms of music although ABBA seemed to have passed me by for some reason in terms of being a serious fan of them. Not that I'm bitter of course.
