Piano Man fame singer Billy Joel's music will soon be re-visited in Scenes From An Italian Restaurant. MGM Television is teaming with Universal Music Publishing Group to bring the New York singer-songwriter's music to life as "a scripted arc-thology".

The show, which takes its title from Joel's song, will see each episode based on the lyrics of his hits, with characters from his songs, including the Stranger, Piano Man, Mamma Leone and Sgt. O'Leary, also finding a place. The tracks will be re-imagined and re-arranged by Joel's music team — with his input — who will take his tunes in new directions.
