The immersive disco pop musical based on the rise and fall of Imelda Marcos, featuring a score by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim.
Lea Salonga will perform as Aurora Aquino from July 11 through August 13.
Here Lies Love is a groundbreaking musical about former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos' astonishing rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. From the minds of David Byrne (Academy Award®, Grammy Award®, and Tony Award® winner) and Fatboy Slim (Grammy Award® winner), Here Lies Love has been called "ingenious" by The New York Times and "an ecstatic and dynamic party” by Time Out New York. With choreography by Annie-B Parson (Olivier Award nominee) and directed by Alex Timbers (Tony Award® winner), the theater is transformed into a dance club where the audience is immersed in the story.
Here Lies Love’s staging at the Broadway Theatre will transform the venue’s traditional proscenium floor space into a dance club environment, where audiences will stand and move with the actors. A wide variety of standing and seating options will be available throughout the theater’s reconstructed space, with more details to be announced soon.
