In theaters since 2005, when it premiered in London, Billy Elliot will come the first time to South America, landing in Sao Paulo in August for a short season: will be only three weeks between 2-18 at Credicard Hall. It is, therefore, the original American production, which will be presented in English, with subtitles in Portuguese.

I am curious how they will translate some of the more "colorful" language for the audience.

Errr......with difficulty:

Mrs Wilkinson's famous line translates thus (I will edit for discretion's sake):

'Você f*c*ing especial.'

Methinks the colloquialisms make present a few issues. Example:

Mr Braithwaite's aside to Billy : 'Você pouco w*nker'

They need Giuseppe's dad on the staff to sort the language issues out ....stat!

Giuseppe's dad is Italian. It's his mother who is from Brazil.
