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..."
 
During this time Henry’s band "Only in America" which
he formed in 1992 continued to perform, receiving
their own accolades, working with some of the worlds
top artists.
