An amazing movie about a boy who discovers his love for dance. However he has to overcome the struggle of his family not expecting his decision. It’s a very great and touching story. Also he’s not gay but the character Michael is.

A fictional 11 year old British boy who discovered his homosexuality at a young age and went to ballet school.
He is depicted in the film "Billy Elliot," which was adapted into a Broadway musical by Elton John, of course.

Guy 1: Hey man, let's go watch Billy Elliot the Musical.
Guy 2: Oh, hey, yeah, then afterwards we can go drive off a cliff!

The best musical in all of the world.
winner of ten 2009 tony awards, including best musical
15 nominations, tying the record.
show about a boy, billy, growing up in easington england, a mining community, in the 1980s during the England minors strike. He stumbles into a ballet class, enjoys it, and eventually Mrs. Wilkinson, his teacher, notices potential in him and helps him persue his ballet. The passion and intensity in this musical cannot be matched by any other. The story line actually doesn't sound nearly as good as the show itself.
It's been said that the show is "gay" because of the male ballet dancing and what not. Well, if they were to see the show, the number "Expressing Yourself" performed by Billy and his cross-dressing best friend Michael would certainly set them straight!
The show is SPECTACULAR.

The effect that the amazing Musical Billy Elliot is having on young boys. The rate of boys signing up for ballet classes has gone up greatly since the opening of the show, and it can only be assumed that this is inspired by the highly succesful musical.
