If you appreciate ballet, or innovative choreography, you should definatly go.

If you like Billy Joel's music AND contemporary Twyla Tharp choreograpy... then it'll be worth it.

Its a 101% dance show, so you've been warned. The 'above the stage' orchestra/band is incredible.

As for me -- I can no longer tolerate Billy Joel's music after seeing this show when it was on Broadway a few years ago.

'Nuff said.

For me, it was a real chore to understand what was going on in the plot, due to a combination of:

1) Not reading the synopsis in the playbill.
2) Most of Billy Joel's lyrics being drowned out by the orchestra
3) Not being a dance connoisseur

Of course, it could just be me.

Such opposite opinions. I had no desire to see this show when it was on Broadway, but curiosity got the best of me when the tour was in DC. I loved it; so much so, I went back the next day to see it again. The dancers I saw (Rasta Thomas being one of them), were amazing.

I say go, even if just to watch the band. Very talented musicians.

I had reservations before I saw this show. I was pleasantly surprised when I actually enjoyed it. I wasn't familiar with Twyla Tharp's choreography, but I became a fan after the show. Billy Joel's music is a story within inself, so the combination of the two elements (dance, vocals) made for an entertaining evening. Not the best show I've ever seen, but I liked it more than I thought I would. You might surprise yourself too!!!

I thought about going to College Station myself and seeing the show but 1) I don't have a free ticket/ enough money for a ticket 2) the theatre is about 2.5 hours away for me 3) it's during the week and I have work the very next day so I just don't think it would work. But I really would like to see this show.

I saw it five times on Bway, three times with the OBC.

I just saw the tour on the 9th.

GO!!! It's amazing.

Can you post who the leads were? Thanks.

[Fiyero13]

Posted: 2/26/08 at 5:34pm

Kyle something was the piano man
Michael was the lead guy, can't remeber the rest

First names don't really help, but thanks anyway.

As Pippin said, if you like Billy's music and unique choreography,,, it's a winner. Besides, the actor who usually sings & plays Billy's music is probably almost as good as Billy in his good days!

I covered it a few years ago...I can't imagine it not being in just as good shape today. There's a lot of talent out there.

Enjoy!
