About the show

A triumphant, emotional, and electrifying theatrical event about a young boy's extraordinary journey from the boxing ring to the ballet stage against the backdrop of the 1984–85 miners' strike. Set in a gritty northern English mining town, the story follows 12-year-old Billy, who swaps boxing gloves for ballet shoes, defying his coal-miner father and brother to chase an impossible dream.
