Leah Hocking was in the original Broadway cast of “Billy Elliot” as Billy’s late mother. At the same time, she was understudy to the female lead, Mrs. Wilkinson, and received a Tony nomination as Best Supporting Actress in a musical. No matter how well her busy career was progressing, life was devastating for her offstage because she was consumed with the imminent death of her husband. Two years have passed. Taking charge of her life, Hocking has returned to the theater she loves playing Mrs. Wilkinson in the national tour of “Billy Elliot.” As a bonus, she travels with her daughter Mabel who studies dance backstage and does her school lessons with the five boys playing Billy.
