Watch River Mardesic perform “Angry Dance” from BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL!

Billy Elliot is blowing away Melbourne audiences – and we have a sneak peek for our readers!

The Act 1 Finale, “Angry Dance,” is one of the most iconic scenes from the show. Without spoiling too much, the scene shows Billy angrily dances (hence the title) his way through the streets of Durham after getting in an argument with his family over his future as a dancer.

The incredible River Mardesic performed this scene for us at the media call. River is the youngest of the show’s 4 Billy’s, at only 11 years old!
