BILLY

The Explorers had a great time watching BILLY (a musical based on Billy Liar) last night at the Concordia Theatre Hinckley. The performances by the cast were amazing and the production truly memorable. A really enjoyable night out.

Billy Fisher, a Walter Mitty fantasist, lives with Mum, Dad and Gran in Stradhoughton and is an undertaker’s clerk – but in his mind he is President of Ambrosia, a film star, a scriptwriter – and anything else glamorous that happens to occur to him! BILLY is a fast-paced brassy, Broadway-style musical, with outstanding songs such as Ambrosia and Some of Us Belong to the Stars which were famously sung by Michael Crawford who starred in the title role at Drury Lane.
