Video: Jennifer Lawrence And Amy Schumer Dance For Billy Joel At Wrigley

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer met up in Chicago this week to work on their upcoming screenplay—and the recent news of their platonic love affair and collaboration is reason enough to get excited.

But fans of the award-winning film star and celebrated comedian—turned feminist script-writing dream team—got a surprise Thursday night when they danced on Billy Joel's piano during his performance at Wrigley Field. Billy Joel was playing "Uptown Girl" when the women joined his backup dancers and stole the show for a moment.

"Any of you guys see the movie Trainwreck?" Billy Joel asked the Wrigley crowd before launching into the song "Uptown Girl." Amy Schumer pops out at about minute 2:20 in this video, with Jennifer Lawrence and a group of backup dancers following behind.


RedEye also captured a shaky video of the surprise from the back of the concert. The camera-holder seemed to be completely caught off guard:
