Elton John enjoys the success of Billy Elliot

Billy Elliot has won plenty of admirers since the movie came out in 2000. With it’s glam-rock soundtrack, the story about a lower-caste English boy who discovers his true calling is ballet has become a classic. It’s circle of fans includes the legendary rock musician Elton John—who was so inspired by the struggle at the center of the story that he created a Broadway musical adapted from the movie.

Now, both musical and John are the toast of the Great White Way. Tickets are selling fast for the show, and its creator—who admitted to the AP that he’s a “novice” at this—is enjoying the limelight and possibly thinking about continuing the line of work: “John, accompanied by partner David Furnish, said he’d rather write a musical than record an album because he likes having a story line and characters.”

With some luck, fans will have more shows to see from this elder statesmen of rock. Of course, those who still love his music can get concert tickets to that, as well. Elton John tickets are available at StubHub.com.
