Overview
Let it be perfectly understood that
Billie Joel is not part of this musical. Director/Choreographer Twyla Tharp has
intertwined Billie Joel's songs into a story set in the 60's in Long Island
where
The king and queen of prom, Brenda and Eddie, are finished, while forever
sweethearts James and Judy are ready for marriage. Their friend, Tony, is
looking for that kind of love, and finds it with Brenda, who has become her own
woman. War takes the men away from home, leaving their loved ones to pick up the
pieces. James loses his life in combat, while Tony and Eddie return home broken
as Judy grieves.
During the second act, the vets try to cobble their lives back together. Tony
can’t seem to find a way to reconnect with Brenda, while Eddie can’t connect
with anyone. Spiraling into a lonely
existence of drugs and self-loathing, Eddie takes a tour through a nightmare of
his past, projecting Judy as his guide. By chance, he encounters Judy jogging in
the park, and her forgiveness allows him to finally set his life back on track.
Brenda and Tony rediscover the love needed to heal their wounds. The friends
reunite to discover they have all found their way back home.
