‘Billy Elliot’ — Before the Tony

Posted on June 8, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Last night, “Billy Elliot” and its three young stars won Tony awards. Now is a good time to watch the movie about the boy who wants to dance that inspired it all (rated R for constant very bad language but otherwise suitable for mature teens).
