Giveaway: Billy Elliot the Musical and Dinner at Bordinos

11/12/2012 nwamamas

We know the next few weeks will be busy so we thought we’d help you plan ahead — for a date night! We’ve got two tickets to opening night of the smash hit musical Billy Elliot on December 4, 2012 at the Walton Arts Center.

We’re pairing the awesome show tickets with dinner at the equally awesome Bordinos Italian Restaurant, which is just steps away from your theater seats at Walton Arts Center. This date night package would normally cost you more than $150.

ABOUT THE SHOW: This is the story of one boy’s journey to make a big dream come true. It has been called “The best show you’ll ever see” by the New York Post and it won 10 Tony Awards in 2009 including the one for Best Musical. The story is set in a small town and follows Billy as he stumbles out of a boxing ring and into a ballet class, where he discovers a surprising talent that inspires his family and his whole community — changing his life forever.

Oh, and did we mention this? Elton John wrote the musical score for this show. Yep. Elton freakin’ John, ladies. Musical legend.

ABOUT THE FOOD: In Northwest Arkansas, the food at Bordinos is as legendary as Billy Elliot is on Broadway. We send lots of our lucky mom winners to this Dickson Street landmark for dinner and they always rave about the food, the service, and the upscale yet never stuffy atmosphere. Click here to see the menu.
