HERE LIES LOVE to open on Broadway in Summer 2023

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 premiere at the Broadway Theatre from 17 June.

With music by Grammy®, Oscar®, and Tony Award® winner David Byrne and Grammy Award® winner Fatboy Slim, the production has direction by Tony Award® winner Alex Timbers and choreography by Olivier Award nominee Annie-B Parson.

The producers of Here Lies Love said: “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 theatre. 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!”

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.

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.

The creative team for Here Lies Love on Broadway includes set designer David Korins, costume designer Clint Ramos, lighting designer Justin Townsend, sound designer M.L. Dogg & Cody Spencer, projection designer Peter Nigrini, and casting by Tara Rubin CSA.
