      Dazzling? quoting from terry teachout's review " i've seen my share of bad broadway musicals, but i can't recall one that was quite so vulgar and bogus as " Billy Elliot". quite dazzling indeed.

      I really love that movie. It's been on cable a few times but not on On Demand which is really annoying.

      1. the show was really good, cant really be compared to the film but good, 2. the kid in the picture is one of 3 boys that trade off playing the role of billy and his name is David Alvarez, Cuban kid from Canada, and incredibly talented, 3. it takes place in Northern England…not ireland…there is a difference
