<p><em>And it seems such a waste of time </em></p>
<p><em>If that's what it's all about </em></p>
<p><em>Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out. </em></p>
<p><strong>-- Billy Joel, "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" </strong></p>

<p>Combining the pop hits of piano man Billy Joel and the dynamic choreography of Tony-winner/recent Kennedy Center honoree Twyla Tharp, the rock ballet/jukebox musical "Movin' Out" moves into the Capitol Theatre this weekend as part of the Best of Broadway series.</p>
<p>Conceived by Tharp, the show differs from a traditional musical in that the dancers don't sing. Instead, the music -- more than 20 Joel tunes -- is performed by a singer and band elevated above the stage while the dancers perform, without dialogue, the story of five high school friends coming of age in Vietnam War-era America. (Because of the interpretive nature of the show, it's a good idea to read a synopsis of the plot beforehand, which you can find at www.capitoltheatre.org.)</p>
<p>Performances are at 7:30 tonight and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Capitol, 19 S. Third St.</p>
<p>Tickets cost $10 to $57.50 and are available through TicketsWest, 800-325-7328, or the Capitol Theatre box office, 853-2787.</p>
<p>Look for On writer Kim Nowacki's review of the show in Sunday's Yakima Herald-Republic.</p>
