More Billy

I'm still thinking about Billy Elliot. There are a few subversive moments in the show that are staying with me. The second act opener is a Christmas pageant that is this light, poppy condemnation of Margaret Thatcher. It turns into an audience sing-a-long that has the audience singing along wishing for the death of Maggie Thatcher. I'm not sure most of the audience realizes that's what the song is promoting. That's cool.
