Billy is a fabulous musical comedy based on the play “Billy Liar”. It tells the story of Billy Fisher who, to escape his dreary life, is prone to “exaggeration” and what’s more, has three girlfriends! Two of whom are sharing an engagement ring.

Between his fictional sister, his father’s leg amputation and the different women he is engaged to marry, Billy’s friends and family don’t know what to believe! The one link between reality and Billy’s dreams is Liz – the girl he truly loves.

This show will keep you on the edge of your seat, forever wondering what problem Billy is going to encounter next. Can one person really get into this much trouble? The humour will leave you laughing for days!

The professional stage show made a star of Michael Crawford in the early 70s with Elaine Page playing one of the girlfriends.

A musical number most will recognise is “Some Of Us Belong To The Stars”, but this is really just one of many wonderful songs in the show.
