Too Big For Broadway?

According to a legal complaint (warning: adult language in the complaint), dancer Alice Alyse claims she was fired from the Broadway cast of the Billy Joel show "Movin' Out" in part because her breasts became too large. In the complaint she quotes the stage manager as saying, 'Those (expletive) boobs are huge ... We hired you at a C and now you're a D." The complaint charges sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other things, and seeks over $100 million in damages.

Alice Alyse is originally from Milwaukee. Her lawyer is Larry Klayman, now legendary 1990s Clinton-hater who represented Gennifer Flowers.

Billy Joel is not named in the suit, but he released this quote to the press: "Under no circumstances would I ever have anyone fired for having breasts that were too large."

I'm not a great Billy Joel fan, but his song "Pressure" was one of my favorites of the early 1980s.
