Not a movie - but my sis and I went to see the Broadway musical Billy Elliot. Wow - the sets, choreography, acting were all top notch. Not all of the songs worked, tho I appreciate the effort to tell the story about the Durham Mine Strike of 1984 along with the story of a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer. Amazingly, that worked (btw, I had no idea the scope of this strike, why it happened, and its consequences before seeing this. So now there is no coal mining in England, and it gets its coal from the Ukraine? Wow. Tho I suspect the Brits here will set me straight

Saw the movie a year or so ago on DVD and really enjoyed it. I've been wanting to see the play, but haven't made it yet. TKTS booth, here I come!
