Tickets are now on sale for the sure-to-be astonishing new musical Here Lies Love, a new multimedia theatrical experience premiering at the Public Theater on April 2 and running through May 5.
With a dance club score by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, Here Lies Love tells the story of Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos and her meteoric rise and descent into infamy. The play is described as “a wholly immersive spectacle combining disco beats, adrenaline-fueled choreography and a remarkable 360-degree scenic and video environment.” Audience members will stand and move along with the actors throughout the musical.
The show comes from a concept by Byrne and features direction by Alex Timbers, choreography by Annie-B Parsons and additional music by Tom Gandey and J Pardo.
