The Hungarian State Opera has axed 15 performances of the hit musical Billy Elliot after poor ticket sales, blamed by the management on a homophobic campaign that claimed the show would “transform boys into homosexuals”.

The management of the Budapest theatre pulled the plug on the 15 shows following a number of articles lambasting the musical in Magyor Idok, a leading newspaper allied to the Hungarian government.

In a letter to staff, Szilveszter Okovacs, the director of the opera, said: “As you know, the negative campaign against the Billy Elliot production has led to a big drop in ticket sales, and for this reason we are cancelling 15 performances in line with a decision by our management.”

One Magyar Idok article claimed the show could weaken Hungary’s birth rate at a time when thousands of immigrants wanted to come to the country.

“The propagation of homosexuality cannot be a national goal when the population is getting older and smaller and our country is threatened by invasion,” the paper wrote, despite the fact that the character of Michael, a friend of Billy’s who is gay, had been written out of the Hungarian version of the show.

Hungarian intellectuals must be very weak minded if watching a show risks turning them gay. :thinking:

It's so damn ridiculous, just fuckin' damn ridiculous ~X( But also scary...

It springs to mind a line from W.H. Auden (I'm not sure if it was his own creation, or if he just used it.) : "Ogre does what ogre can!"

And my special thanks for the icy witticism in your final line ;)

15 performances of some over-priced, yuppy play get cancelled. Boo-hoo. No tears plopping into champagne glasses during the intermission then. Big deal.

The tone of the article seems to be that this somehow means Hungary is a bad country or has a bad government etc. What a load of nonsense!

The same 'Telegraph' newspaper constantly sings the praises of 'progressive' Saudi Arabia. What a joke!

Hungary is a fine country. With a fine people, and a fine government. Seriously, have the Telegraph nothing else to print? Nothing else for click-bait?

I hate it when gay issues are used and abused by people who only pretend to care for their own self-promotion.

On a positive note, a huge amount of gay porn comes out of Hungary and Budapest has a thriving gay scene! Amazing! Now that's the reality, not the lazy click-bate.

A lazy, sly-agenda article in a right wing British newspaper is enough to make you hate and stereotype the 'evil' Hungarian? How sad!
