2008 Movin' Out

The lives of a group of six lifelong friends are forever changed over the course of two turbulent decades. Told through the choreography of Twyla Tharp and the songs of Billy Joel.

5-time Grammy Award winner Billy Joel and 2-time Emmy Award winner Twyla Tharp bring their combined genius to Broadway in Movin' Out -- the stunning new musical blockbuster featuring more than two dozen Billy Joel classics like "Captain Jack," "For the Longest Time," "Uptown Girl," "Pressure," and "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" as well as the most explosive dancing Broadway has seen in years.

Act one takes place in Long Island in the '60s. The king and queen of prom, Brenda and Eddie, are finished, while forever sweethearts James and Judy are ready for marriage. Their friend, Tony, is looking for that kind of love, and finds it with Brenda, who has become her own woman. War takes the men away from home, leaving their loved ones to pick up the pieces. James loses his life in combat, while Tony and Eddie return home broken as Judy grieves.

In Act two, the veterans try to cobble their lives back together. Tony can't seem to find a way to reconnect with Brenda, while Eddie can't connect with anyone. Spiraling into a lonely existence of drugs and self-loathing, Eddie takes a tour through a nightmare of his past, projecting Judy as his guide. By chance, he encounters Judy jogging in the park, and her forgiveness allows him to finally set his life back on track. Brenda and Tony rediscover the love needed to heal their wounds. The friends reunite to discover they have all found their way back home.
