Here Lies Love, the groundbreaking new musical from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, is pleased to announce a one-night-only post-show DJ set from Fatboy Slim immediately following the Thursday, August 31st performance at the Broadway Theatre (1681 Broadway at 53rd Street). Every audience member who purchases a ticket to that evening’s performance of Here Lies Love can remain for the post-show set; seated and standing patrons will remain in their ticketed locations, but everyone is invited to stand up and dance.
David Byrne said, “Working with Norm on Here Lies Love was a joy. This night will be something I can’t even imagine. If you’ve never seen his videos, watch them, the best ever.”
Here Lies Love co-producer DJ CherishTheLuv said, “This rare night on Broadway with Fatboy Slim is for the true party rockers and tastemakers. Whether I’m DJing for MTV or Fashion Week, it is the savviest folks in the crowd who tear up the floor when I drop Fatboy’s “Right Here, Right Now” and then request “that Christopher Walken song.” I’m excited to be transported back to some good times, REALLY good times, and make amazing new memories on a special night at Here Lies Love!”
Here Lies Love began previews Saturday, June 17 and opened to rave reviews on Thursday, July 20, 2023.
From David Byrne Academy Award®, Grammy® Award, and Tony Award® winner) and Fatboy Slim (Grammy Award winner), Here Lies Love is “a truly fabulous piece of visual theater with a soundscape more beautiful, more exciting and more surprising than any score on Broadway” (Chicago Tribune). This revolutionary new musical about former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos’ astonishing rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution, has been hailed as “a political chiller that’s also a red-hot adrenaline rush” (Ben Brantley) “that makes you believe you could dance all night” (The Washington Post).
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.
Developed and directed by Alex Timbers (Tony Award winner) and choreographed by Annie-B Parson (Olivier Award nominee), Here Lies Love is a “roof-raising, disco-infused extravaganza that turns the theatre into a dance floor with thrilling results” (The Guardian). Following sold-out, critically acclaimed runs at The Public Theater, London’s National Theatre, and Seattle Rep, “Here Lies love is the most entertaining new show on Broadway right now” (ABC7). Ticket buyers can experience this “undeniably enjoyable show” (New York Post) in two ways: seated or standing immersed within the action.
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.
