When Amy Schumer, Jennifer Lawrence Joined Billy Joel on ‘Uptown Girl’

In summer 2015, it seemed like screen stars Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer were popping up everywhere together. So perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise that they delighted attendees to a public performance of their BFF status at an August 27, 2015, Billy Joel concert at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

In a video that went viral, Joel asks the crowd if they’ve seen Schumer’s summer comedy box-office hit Trainwreck. The innocent man then starts singing his 1983 hit “Uptown Girl.” Shortly thereafter, Schumer, Lawrence and friends hit the stage and form a dance line. The two film stars shed their shoes and climb onto Joel’s piano to create their own field of dreams.

When there’s no pandemic, Joel typically performs once a month in various cities across the U.S., often at Major League Baseball parks, as well as at his record-setting monthly residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden, where he’s regularly joined by fellow classic rock legends. Tickets are available here.

The fun begins at around the 1:25 mark in our Classic Video….
