Movin Out If you only see one musical this spring, make it Movin' Out... Billy Joel grew up in the Sixties in a blue-collar New York suburb and his best songs document the emotional landscape of his time and place... Tharp has taken the heartbeat of his songs about these ordinary kids and told their lives... The dancing from a multi-national cast is spectacular... Above the stage is Fame Academy's Fox, singing every number as the Piano Man himself and a genuine star. Movin' Out is a show for everybody. I defy you not to have a wonderful evening.
The Daily Express I was amazed to discover that I knew most of the 20-plus songs included here without ever quite realizing that I did. When combined with Twyla Tharp's often thrilling choreography, this is a show that really packs a punch. For as well as being a great rock musical, this is also a superb dance spectacular, and one that tells a story rather than just offering a succession of big choreographic routines. Anyone with a passion for popular culture at its electrifying best will have an absolute blast. The Daily Telegraph choreography is light years beyond the Broadway average. The dancing too spectacular. you barely notice that no dialogue has been spoken.
The Guardian Tharp's agenda is dance, and the hook is her visceral high-octane choreography... For two hours, with barely a pause for breath, she whips up a storm of movement fuelled by demon energy, dazzling athleticism and raw sex. When it comes to putting classy and raunchy into the same body there is no one to touch her. It's the best show dancing in town.
