A young Bradford performer has landed a role in a major West End show.

Freddie Butterfield, ten, who attends Stage 84 in Idle, will play Michael in Billy Elliot.

He will attend a training programme before joining the award-winning show, based on the hit film about a boy from a tough North East mining community who is drawn to dance.

Freddie will also play Gavroche in Stage 84’s production of Les Miserables, running at Bingley Arts Centre from today until Saturday.
