Movin’ Out with Michael Cavanaugh: The Music of Billy Joel and Elton John
Tuesday, November 18 @ 7:00 pm – Reynolds Performance Hall
Michael Cavanaugh was made famous for his piano/lead vocals in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out. Handpicked by Billy Joel to star in Movin’ Out, Cavanaugh evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man. He appeared in the show for three years with over 1,200 performances and received multiple accolades. The show culminated in 2003 with both Grammy and Tony award nominations.
His interpretation of the modern rock/pop songbook led to Billboard calling him “The New Voice of the American Rock and Roll Songbook,” and he was recognized by Reuters as Entertainer of the Year for the private events market. Cavanaugh will perform the greatest hits of the two pop-rock piano legends through songs including “Piano Man,” “Movin’ Out,” “Rocket Man,” “Bennie and the Jets,” and more.
