Billy Joel musical coming to television

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- "Movin' Out" -- Twyla Tharp's Broadway musical based on Billy Joel's music -- will air on U.S. public television next year.

Playbill.com says WNET will air the show as part of its PBS series "Great Performances" some time in late winter or early spring of 2007.

The show is currently touring the United States. The episode has not yet been filmed.

Tharp -- who conceived, directed and choreographed "Movin' Out" -- won a Tony Award for her choreography, and Joel shared a Tony with Stuart Malina for orchestration. The show was nominated for 10 Tonys in 2003.

Tharp's new production, "The Times They Are A-Changin'," is based on the music of Bob Dylan.
