Considering that the film has repeatedly been pulled from release with no reason given for the delay, I think the writing's on the wall. It's not gonna' go any further.
I enjoyed it on the West End and I've loved the recording, but a "Billy Elliott as Drag Queen" ain't gonna' go far in the US, when the actual Billy Elliott tour didn't meet expectations. Add in the Northern accents and lingo and its fate isn't bright. (I missed about 20% of the dialog - I understood what was being communicated, but I missed many of the words).
