Hamilton tells the story of a group of people who rose up against oppression, and that's the backdrop of Billy Elliot too. Set against a miners' strike in the 1980s, the musical follows a young boy who discovers a passion and gift for dance, much to the dismay of his working-class coal mining family. It's equal parts coming-of-age story and sharp-tongued politics, making it perfect for fans of Hamilton.
