Henry Haid rose to prominence portraying piano man Billy Joel in Twyla Tharp’s Tony Award-winning hit Broadway musical Movin’ Out. After spending years playing in piano bars near his home in Long Island New York, as well as bands and shows in New York City, Europe, and the Caribbean, Henry Haid’s audition for the Broadway musical Movin’ Out, choreographed by Twyla Tharp, came as no surprise. Having been hand picked by Ms. Tharp to perform the lead, his entire focus and dedication for over two years was given to Billy Joel’s and Twyla Tharp’s musical production of Movin Out.

His performance as the Piano Man Billy Joel, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City, produced rave reviews… New York Theater proclaimed, “Pianist/lead vocalist Henry Haid’s electric voice rang out passionately and impressively…” And Patrickweb reported, “The playing and singing by
Henry Haid was outstanding…”. Shaun A. Pennington of the St. Thomas Source wrote, “Having heard him, I have to say Haid is Billy Joel, when Billy Joel was Billy Joel—in a musically electric way…”
