Three young Bainbridge performers are among the cast of Village Theatre’s production of “Billy Elliot the Musical.”

Based on the Universal Pictures/Studio Canal Film, with music by Elton John, the show will be at the Everett Performing Arts Center (2710 Wetmore Ave.) through July 3 and then continue on in Issaquah at the Francis Gaudette Theatre (303 Front St. North) through July 31.

Each performance features 10 young performers, including three from Bainbridge: Quinn Liebling, playing Billy Elliot’s close friend Michael, and Priya Niehaus and Cordelia Janow, playing two of the girls in Billy’s ballet class.

Amidst the chaos of the 1984 miner’s strike in northern England, the musical follows Billy’s journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and community while changing his life forever.
