#83: Movin' Out with Tony Award nominee Elizabeth Parkinson

Welcome to season 3 of "Chasing Phantom!" If this episode is any indication, it's going to be the best season yet. 

At a time when debate about Billy Joel, his music and his legacy, has enjoyed a surge of attention thanks to the HBO documentary, "And So It Goes," that debuted this past summer, I welcome Tony Award nominee and Astaire Award-winning dancer Elizabeth Parkinson to the podcast for a deep dive on the dance-musical "Movin' Out," developed by modern dance genius Twyla Tharp. Our conversation not only covers all sorts of insider information on the development of that show, but also ranges into topics like managing life as an artist, the challenges dancers in particular face, and why being on Broadway doesn't always define success.

This season is going to start out with several people who have been involved in Broadway and Broadway-adjacent productions but maybe not in the ways that first come to mind. As always in this ongoing "Chasing Phantom" adventure, I learn a lot along the way and I hope you will too!

Now is a good time to like, rate, subscribe and do all of those other great podcast-supporting things as we barrel headfirst into a new, exciting season. As always, please reach out to me at davidhintztimberline@gmail.com with questions, comments or recommendations.

And of course, be sure and check my website at ChasingPhantom.net for video clips and more information related to this production. You'll be glad you did, for this show in particular: there is a video on YouTube of an entire "Movin' Out" performance. It's not professionally shot but it gives a great sense of what the show was like. You can find links to it and other interesting videos on my site.
