New Block Of Tickets Go On Sale for HERE LIES LOVE on Broadway

Here Lies Love, the new musical from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, officially opens tomorrow night, Thursday, July 20, at the Broadway Theatre (1681 Broadway at 53rd Street). A new block of tickets goes on sale tomorrow at 10am ET for performances through Sunday, January 7, 2024.

 

From Grammy®, Oscar®, and Tony Award® winner David Byrne (concept, music and lyrics) and Grammy Award® winner Fatboy Slim (music), Here Lies Love re-defines the musical theater experience, turning the rise and fall of a dictator and his wife into an exuberant party. Developed & directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, with choreography by Olivier Award nominee Annie-B Parson, Here Lies Love transforms the Broadway Theatre (1681 Broadway at 53rd Street) into a nightclub where the audience is literally immersed in the story, witnessing history up close. While some audience members stand and move with the actors, others enjoy from traditional theater seating. Everyone is close to the action.

“Working on this musical has been a decades-long journey for me, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that everyone––either dancing on the floor, or bopping along in their seats––gets to experience Here Lies Love,” said David Byrne. “This show and these songs are all about you, as listener and audience member, being swept up in the action, in the emotional moment. As an audience member, you laugh, dance, cheer, recoil, and cry as Imelda Marcos charms her way to power in the Philippines, succumbs to corruption, and is forced out by the People Power Revolution.”

 

The show features the first all-Filipino cast to perform on Broadway: Arielle Jacobs (In The Heights, Aladdin, Between The Lines) as “Imelda Marcos,” Jose Llana (The King and I, The 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee) as “Ferdinand Marcos,” Conrad Ricamora (“How to Get Away with Murder,” The King and I, Soft Power – Grammy nominations) as “Ninoy Aquino,” Melody Butiu, Moses Villarama, Jasmine Forsberg, Reanne Acasio, Jaygee Macapugay, Julia Abueva, Renée Albulario, Aaron Alcaraz, Carol Angeli, Nathan Angelo, Kristina Doucette, Roy Flores, Timothy Matthew Flores, Sarah Kay, Jeigh Madjus, Aaron "AJ" Mercado, Geena Quintos, Shea Renne, and Angelo Soriano. Tony and Olivier Award winner Lea Salonga, a global Filipina legend, will also join the cast for a special guest engagement this summer, performing for five weeks from Tuesday, July 11 through Sunday, August 13.

 

From its world premiere at The Public Theater in 2013, Here Lies Love has enjoyed popular and critical acclaim. The show returned to The Public in 2014-2015, debuted at London’s Royal National Theatre in 2014, and most recently opened at Seattle Repertory Theatre in 2017.
