A dancer who said she was harassed for having large breasts and a toe injury has sued owners and managers of a Billy Joel musical for $100m (£57.2m).

Alice Alyse said she was humiliated over her increased breast size, which meant her costume needed altering, and was accused of faking a toe injury.

Alyse added she was wrongly fired from the US show Movin' Out
in February. Staff were unavailable for comment.

Joel, who wrote the music and lyrics, was not named in the case.

Alyse said her right big toe was seriously injured when she fell during a performance in Los Angeles on 23 September 2004.

She said managers falsely told her fellow cast members that she was "faking her injury and had lied" about the need to take time off to let it heal.

Several of the show's owners and managers are named in the case, including choreographer, Twyla Tharp.

Movin' Out originally ran on Broadway between 2002 and 2005 and clocked up more than 1300 performances.

The show subsequently went on tour across America and is due to tour Japan this summer.

The musical will also be launched in the UK at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London on 28 March.

Former Fame Academy contestant and Eurovision hopeful James Fox is
taking the lead role. The show features Joel hits Uptown Girl and We Didn't
Start The Fire.

It tells the story of a group of friends torn apart when
the men have to go to war in Vietnam. It received two Tony awards in 2003 -
Tharp won best choreography and Joel won best orchestrations alongside Stuart
