The Billy Elliot Effect

The effect that the amazing Musical Billy Elliot is having on young boys. The rate of boys signing up for ballet classes has gone up greatly since the opening of the show, and it can only be assumed that this is inspired by the highly succesful musical.

a strange feeling of euphoria and happiness, when coming into contact with people given the name Elliot or any sort of variation of the spelling of name

mark-“i’m so happy today and don’t know why“
mathew-“did you talk to elliot at all”

mathew-yeh it’s the Elliot effect
