Billy Elliot dances to Tonys joy

Billy Elliot has danced away with a host of Tony Awards, including the title for best musical.

The story of a schoolboy in a northern mining town who dreams of dancing was the ceremony's big winner, with its haul reaching double figures.

In a good night for Broadway's British contingent, Angela Lansbury won the award for best performance by a featured actress in a play - becoming only the second actress in history to win five Tonys.
