Billy The Kid
Originally commissioned by the incredible National Youth Music Theatre, Billy the Kid is an adventure story, a magical, musical comedy set in a colourful world of cowboys and bandits, cactus trees and caballeros. First performed in August 2017 at Curve Leicester, the show has since had its world premiere amateur performance at Windsor Boys School.
In 2018 the Original Cast Album was launched on iTunes and Spotify, and immediately shot to #2 in the iTunes Soundtrack chart, knocking Hamilton and Moana off their spots! Have a listen below!
