Posted: 12/11/05 at 1:12amok...i know this is absolutely terrible...because a lot of people are losing their jobs...but after all...they will probably find another job....because the people working in this show are actually very talented...i just hated the concept and i felt like i have been mugged because i was expecting a Broadway show and i ended up seeing a piece of crap in my point of view. The worst show i have ever seen in my life....yes...i am talking about "Movin Out" ...is anyone brave enough to say they are happy this show is out of Broadway???

wow...i adored this show. was moved by the show in a big way. i think twyla did a materful job both directing and choreographing. i'm very sad to see it go.
as for "expecting a broadway show," there have been MANY comments on here an in reviews, etc about it being more of a ballet than a full-fledged show.
sorry you didnt like it...i thought it was exhilarating.

Posted: 12/11/05 at 2:11amI think that some of the younger theater folk didn't enjoy it as much as ones a bit older since Billy Joel was "Our Era" and you just had to be there. I got exactly what I was expecting and liked this show, but it's not for everyone. Happy Hols!

hey now, some of us who loved Movin Out are some of the younger theater folk. 
...then again, some of us who like Movin Out also didnt care much for Wicked & Hairspray and the hipper, trendier shows either...

theatahguy, it's not "being more a ballet"... it is a ballet. that's all there is to it.
that being said, i loved it and think more ballets should grace broadway. matthew bourne and twlya tharpe are incredible.

Posted: 12/11/05 at 2:36amI wasn't trying to dis the young ones in any way, Just think one might relate more to the story if you lived in that era, However, There are so many "Old Souls" out there, It boggles the logic. Happy Hols!

jimmirae--i know, no offense meant or taken...just being a little snarky :)
adparcey--slip of the tongue...or fingers...you got me. you know the point i was trying to make.
i also agree that more shows like this should be on broadway.

I'm a huge fan of Billy Joel, but I've never really bothered to see this one. Perhaps I won't?

Posted: 12/11/05 at 11:48amI like Movin' Out, however I don't think I'll ever be able to take it seriously again after watching the Forbidden Broadway parody. Heh.

Posted: 12/11/05 at 12:00pmi loved it. though, i don't know if i'd go back to see it again. it was really a great show though. i was moved.

Posted: 12/11/05 at 1:58pmhow can you say you are happy that a show is closing. just because you didnt appreciate it doesnt mean that it isnt a great show. the cast of Movin' Out is one of the most talented that Broadway has ever seen, and it makes me so angry that more people dont realize that. Movin' Out is an amazing show. not crap.

Indeed the cast is extraordinarily talented, and the music holds a special place in many people's hearts and memories, but the way the show was pasted together was hardly masterful. The choreography was not Tharp's usual standard, and seemed to struggle more than the horribly woven plot, if you could call it that.
I wouldn't go out of my way to catch this again.

i think that the performers that were in this show were some of the most hardworker performers on bway. the dancing that they did was outstanding! im very sad to see it go..the emotion that they put into their performances was incredible.keith, elizabeth, and john were especially amazing. twylas choreography was unique and modern..and for getting the idea of the show out of billy joel songs is truly amazing and it worked very well.the story line was meant to be loose because dance is very expressive and twyla wanted the audience to come up w/ their own ideas of what is happening or as she said "fill in the blanks" you can see in the pictures below the emotion they put into their dancing...
