Through live performances, cinematic multimedia, and captivating storytelling, audiences will journey through the defining moments of Billy Joel's life to discover the people, places, and experiences that inspired some of the greatest songs ever written.
"The music of Billy Joel has an incredible ability to connect with audiences across generations," says creator and director Dean Elliott. "Whether you grew up with these songs or you're hearing them for the first time, they tell stories that feel deeply personal. We wanted audiences to experience the journey behind the music and celebrate one of the greatest songbooks ever written."
Audiences will sing along to beloved classics including "Piano Man," "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," "New York State of Mind," "Uptown Girl," "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," "Vienna," "We Didn't Start the Fire," and many more.
