Movin' Out, the Tony Award-winning musical conceived, choreographed and
directed by Twyla Tharp and based on classic Billy Joel songs, comes to
The University of Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall for an eight-show run from
May 2 through May 7. Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, Feb. 10 at
all Ticketmaster locations.=20

Told through the choreography of Twyla Tharp and nearly two dozen of
Billy Joel's hit songs, Movin' Out is the story of lifelong friends
through two turbulent decades that change them and the world around them
forever. Songs like "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "We Didn't Start
the Fire," and "Pressure" all come together to weave a musical backdrop
which beautifully complements Tharp's innovative choreography. The songs
and dance take audiences through a poignant narrative comprised of three
main elements: post-World War II idealism, the Vietnam War and its
subsequent unrest, and finally, survival.

For 30 years, Billy Joel has been one of music's great storytellers and
Tharp's choreography - combining elements of ballet, jazz and modern
dance - bring his stories to life. Movin' Out's five main characters are
pulled from Joel's lyrics. There's Brenda and Eddie from "Scenes from an
Italian Restaurant," Tony and Sergeant O'Leary from "Movin' Out," Judy
from "Why, Judy, Why," and James from "James". Critics say Movin' Out
has revolutionized musical theatre as we know it. "So exhilarating and
soul-stirring, it practically bursts out of the theatre," said Richard
Zoglin of Time Magazine.=20

=20

Twyla Tharp's vision for Movin' Out is unlike a typical musical because
the characters in the show don't sing or even speak - all sound comes
from the band. Their tale of all-American love, loss and redemption is
"a story told without language," Tharp said. "The movement and the
action tell the story-the experience, the emotional resonance, comes
from action rather than language."=20

=20

Movin' Out is produced by James L. Nederlander, Hal Luftig, Scott E.
Nederlander, Terry Allen Kramer, Clear Channel Entertainment and Emanuel
Azenberg.  Musical continuity and supervision is by Stuart Malina.
Movin' Out features a scenic design by Santo Loquasto, costume design by
Suzy Benzinger, lighting design by Donald Holder and sound design by
Brian Ruggles and Peter Fitzgerald.
