NEW YORK \u2014 “Billy Elliot,” the big British musical about a coal miner’s son who dreams to dance, bowled over Broadway on Sunday, winning 10 Tonys, including best musical and a unique best actor prize for the three young performers who share the title character.<\/p>\n

The trio \u2014 David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish \u2014 traded off on the “thank you” part of their acceptance speech, shyly thanking people associated with the show only by their first names. They also acknowledged siblings and parents. Finally, Kulish told the cheering crowd at Radio City Music Hall, “We want to say to all the kids out there who might want to dance: Never give up.”<\/p>\n

“Billy Elliot” collected eight other awards, including director of a musical, book of a musical and choreography, but its composer, Elton John, was upset for best score.<\/p>\n
