Movin Out Tickets

Movin' Out is a Broadway jukebox musical featuring the music of Billy Joel, and was conceived, directed, and choreographed by Twyla Tharp. The show opened on October 24, 2002 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and closed on December 11, 2005 after 1303 performances.[1] As of December 2005, Movin' Out is Broadway's longest running dance musical, beating Fosse and Contact.[2] Movin' Out is an unusual musical because it is essentially a dance show with a very loose plot, and none of the actors sing. All of the vocals are performed by a pianist and band suspended on a platform over the stage while the dancers act out the narrative below without any dialogue. The musical tells the story of a generation of American youth growing up on Long Island during the 1960's, and their experience of the Vietnam War.
