Here Lies Love is a groundbreaking musical about former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos' and the Marcos' rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. Witness her journey through “exhilarating songs” (USA Today) and “imaginative spectacle” (The Guardian) over “90 breathless minutes” (The Washington Post). Featuring music by Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award Winner David Byrne and Grammy Award Winner Fatboy Slim, and direction by Center Theatre Group Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Artistic Director Snehal Desai, comes an all-new production that will transform the Mark Taper Forum into a wholly immersive spectacle combining disco beats and adrenaline-fueled choreography, going beyond Imelda's near-mythic obsession with shoes to explore true questions of power and responsibility. It is a story fueled by greed, power, and disco that feels as timely today as ever.
