David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's Musical 'Here Lies Love' Is Heading to Broadway
It's derived from their 2010 concept album about Imelda Marcos
The performance will be interactive, as a press release says the show "will transform the venue's traditional proscenium floor space into a dance club environment, where audiences will stand and move with the actors."
"As a team of binational American producers — Filipinos among us — we are thrilled to bring Here Lies Love to Broadway! We welcome everyone to experience this singularly exuberant piece of theatre," a statement from the producers reads. "The history of the Philippines is inseparable from the history of the United States, and as both evolve, we cannot think of a more appropriate time to stage this show. See you on the dance floor!"
This obviously isn't Byrne's first rodeo on Broadway — Here Lies Love follows his 2019 musical American Utopia, which is still running.
