Based on 24 classic Billy Joel songs, Movin’ Out follows six lifelong friends through two turbulent decades. Tharp will bring this revival into a new era, reimagining how the characters interact with the music.

Premiering on Broadway in 2002, Movin’ Out garnered critical acclaim for its innovative blend of rock music and theatrical storytelling. The show was widely praised for its dynamic choreography by Twyla Tharp, which seamlessly integrated Billy Joel’s hits into a narrative about love, loss, and the American experience.

The production earned two 2003 Tony Awards, including one for Twyla Tharp (Best Choreography) and one for Billy Joel and Stuart Malina (Best Orchestrations), along with 10 Tony nominations including Best Musical. Its success was a testament to its groundbreaking fusion of music, dance, and theater, marking it as a standout production of the early 2000s.
