The Tribeca Festival on June 4 has announced its opening world premiere of the HBO Original Documentary “Billy Joel: And So It Goes” at the Beacon Theatre.
The two-part documentary will be the festival’s opening night film this summer, featured alongside a curated selection of film, music, TV, audio storytelling, talks, games and immersive programming. The 25th annual festival continues to highlight groundbreaking stories that unite global communities and fans.
“For nearly 25 years, the Tribeca Festival has celebrated the artists who give New York its heart and soul, and on the opening night of the 2025 Festival, we are thrilled to honor Billy Joel—an artist who has embodied that very spirit,” Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca Festival Jane Rosenthal said. “Paying tribute to the legendary performer who captured the essence of a ‘New York State of Mind’ is a perfect way to kick off this year’s celebration of creativity and inspiration.”
“Billy Joel: And So It Goes” is produced and directed by Emmy winners Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin. The film will debut on HBO and will be available to stream this summer following its world premier at the Festival.
“We are beyond appreciative of Billy Joel’s trust in us to bring his story to the screen.,” Lacy said. “There is no better place for this film to premiere than at the Beacon Theatre, the venue for so many historic musical events for decades, and in the city so important to Billy Joel.”
