Billy Joel's oeuvre has been matched to Twyla Tharp's choreography in Movin' Out, which is prepping in Chicago for a Broadway opening this fall. There's a Beach Boys musical in the works and another one on the Doors, and even a Bruce Springsteen show, Drive All Night, with its sights set on Broadway. "Pop music...
Even the debased act of recycling old rock songs can be the occasion for artistic alchemy. Two years ago, Tharp called Joel, whom she had never met, asked him over to the house and told him she wanted to do a musical based on his songs. He said yes, then stepped aside and let Tharp go to town on Movin' Out, a two-act dance musical built around a couple dozen of his songs (not just Uptown Girl and Captain Jack, but some of his classical compositions as well), linking them loosely with a story that spans two decades...

...first musical on Broadway, he wrote all new material. The show tanked. So BILLY JOEL isn't taking any chances. When he tests the waters on the Great White Way in October, he'll use songs that are already proven hits.
