‘Billy Elliot’: A musical with the wow factor
I’ve been getting dizzy trying to come up with adjectives for “Billy Elliot the Musical” and it all simply comes down to “wow.” Taken from the Oscar winning movie directed by Stephen Daltry and written by Lee Hall, the musical soars to new theatre heights. The same team that made the movie created the less gloomy musical version, with the addition of Elton John's music. Nothing has been spared to recreate the heart wrenching theme with a tragically comedic thread, which weaves through the plot and brings a more human element to the musical.

According to the Persian legend of King Jamshid, wine was discovered about 8,000 years ago. The story goes that the king banished one of his harem girls after she had angered him. The harem girl became so distraught that she searched for something to end her life. Finding a box of old, rotten grapes, labeled “poison” in the kitchen cupboard - she took a deep drink. To her surprise, she started to feel quite happy and no longer wanted to end her life. The harem girl took her discovery to the king - who also tested the grape liquid. After he, too, became quite cheerful, he proclaimed that from that day forward, all grapes grown in his kingdom would be grown for the sole purpose of making wine.
