At 1930 we trooped to the Victoria Palace Theatre to watch Billy Elliot. Alas, we weren’t able to get a discount. The musical wasn’t as good as We Will Rock You—nothing is—but I nevertheless enjoyed it.
      Billy Elliot is set in Margaret Thatcher London, and blue-collar people are as miserable as they come. Growing up in this dismal atmosphere is Billy, forced to learn boxing with his best friend Michael. One day, forced to lock up after class, Billy happens to see the ballet class. And so begins Billy’s love affair with dance.
      The language they used immediately shocked me. Coarse, blunt Cockney…I loved it! the dancing was awesome, a mix of classical ballet, pop punk and pure improv(isation).
      Michael was love. The boy was truly adorable.
      The Eurotrip 2006 ended with a musical.
      The End.
