Performances of the musical Here Lies Love will begin on April 2 at The Public Theater in New York City. David Byrne contributed the concept and lyrics while Byrne wrote the music for the show with Fatboy Slim. Here Lies Love presents ‘the astonishing journey of Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos retracing her meteoric rise from childhood to her subsequent descent into infamy and disgrace at the end of the People Power Revolution. Here Lies Love is neither a period piece nor a biography, neither a play nor a traditional musical but a wholly immersive theatrical event combining songs influenced by four decades of dance music, adrenaline-fueled choreography, and a remarkable 360-degree scenic and video environment to go beyond Imelda’s near-mythic obsession with shoes and explore the true tragic consequences of power and responsibility.’  Comfortable footwear is suggested because dancing is encouraged. Here Lies Love is slated to run through May 5.
