Billy Elliot the Musical is ending its run in Chicago early next year, with the last performance at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts slated for Jan. 15, 2011.
Eric Fellner, one of the show’s producers, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the production is very expensive, partially because of the many children in the show. (They require chaperones, tutors and additional personnel.) The show will move on to San Francisco and Toronto.
The final block of tickets ($30-$100) will go on sale July 16; see BroadwayInChicago.com.
