However, I feel alive enough to visit WEST END LIVE, a free open-air event featuring performances of many West End musical shows. One of them is another reason for my London travel: BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL. You ask why yours truly, a hopeless punk weirdo, likes such mainstream shit? Well: It features a working-class-boy who loves to dance, a riot-grrrl-grandma, a queer crossdressing boy, lots of swearing by both adults and kids and class war. Based on true events in British history, the great miners' strike 84/85. Also some of the catchiest tunes I've ever heard. Yes. You should love it, too.
At West End Live you don't get to see much of it, though. You just get people's heads and cameras.
