Synopsis
Billy! is an English musical set in Yorkshire, England in the 1960s, about a man called Billy who is constantly day-dreaming his way through life. His parents and his gran are constantly yelling at him and telling him not to be so bone idle but it can't help it. He gets engaged to Barbara, a dum girl who like the colour orange and Rita, a tart who wears six inches of make-up and high-heels to match as well as the shortest skirts in Yorkshire. However, he loves Liz - a level headed girl who plans to run away with him to London. A lot of the musical is related to Billy's dreams or takes place in them!
