Immersive disco pop musical 'Here Lies Love' coming to Broadway

Get ready to dance.

"Here Lies Love," the immersive disco pop musical based on the rise and fall of Imelda Marcos and the People Power Revolution of the Philippines, will begin previews on Broadway on Saturday, June 17, ahead of opening night on Thursday, July 20, at the Broadway Theatre.

The show features music by Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner David Byrne and Grammy Award winner Fatboy Slim, with additional music from Tom Gandey and J Pardo.

The show's staging "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," producers said.

Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (direction) and Olivier Award nominee Annie-B Parson (choreography) reunite with Byrne (concept, music and lyrics) and Fatboy Slim (music) in bringing the project to Broadway, the continuation of a 10-plus year collaboration.

"Here Lies Love"is produced by Hal Luftig, Patrick Catullo, Diana DiMenna for Plate Spinner Productions, Clint Ramos and Jose Antonio Vargas on Broadway.

“As a team of binational American producers — Filipinos among us — we are thrilled to bring 'Here Lies Love' to Broadway! We welcome everyone to experience this singularly exuberant piece of theater. The history of the Philippines is inseparable from the history of the United States, and as both evolve, we cannot think of a more appropriate time to stage this show. See you on the dance floor," producers said.

"Here Lies Love" tells the story of former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos' rise to power and fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution.

The show had its world premiere at The Public Theater in 2013, returned to The Public in 2014-15, debuted at London’s Royal National Theatre in 2014 and opened at Seattle Repertory Theatre in 2017.
