Curve is famous for doing brilliant musicals and we have one of the best stages in the
0:06
country for musical theatre and that's sort of our bread and butter and so it would make
0:11
sense that we would want to do one of the greatest British musicals ever written, which
0:16
of course is Billy Elliot. It's a show about trying to find your own voice in a world where there's a lot of pressures
0:23
and I think it's really relevant for us today. Working on an iconic British score by Elton John and Lee Hall is really appealing
0:31
In rehearsals we've been doing lots of fun activities. I'm just really excited for the whole thing
0:37
It's just showing other people what young people can do. This week they've done boxing workshops, they're learning how to navigate complex harmonies
0:46
they're learning choreography. It was like jab, jab, rear and then we had to do hook and then rear hook and it was just
0:54
I loved it. I absolutely love performing, it means a lot. Yesterday we learnt expressing yourself, the dance and the song and that's a very funny
1:04
bit in my opinion. It's a very fun dance and it's like a partner dance with Billy and Michael so it was great
1:10
fun to do. Billy Elliot means a lot to me because it's the thing that inspired me to do singing
1:15
dancing and acting. It feels like a dream come true because I've like dreamed of doing the rehearsals
1:21
The show closed six years ago, they should come back and get a new experience, new ideas
1:28
and I think that's what's happening here, especially with the great director
1:32
Come and see the show and just have your mind blown by the wealth of young talent, our incredible
1:39
adult company, the sensational choreography, the incredible design. I would say it's exciting. Fun. Bold. Outstanding. Passionate. Jubilant. Breathtaking. Inspiring. Different. Amazing
