#HereLiesLove at #MarkTaperForum LA🎭
The cast is amazing, I learned about the Philippines, #ImeldaMarcos and #NinoyAquino (fictionalized).
🎵Also concept by legend #DavidByrne and music by #FatboySlim!🪩
+ an ode to resistance over dictatorship, we need that (the outcome is a bit depressing there).

I still think of the #HereLiesLove musical finale often.

It was nice to meet David Korins, acclaimed architect and four-time Tony Award-nominated scenic designer for "Hamilton," "Beetlejuice," "Here Lies Love," and other shows. We've done phoners before. Check out his exhibition at the Museum of Broadway!

Probably the last time on floor for #HereLiesLove (on its final wk on Broadway). I can document that I’ve seen Aaron Alcaraz understudying for the role of Ferdinand Marcos. His take is a kind of trained amiable politician, I think, compared to Jose Llana‘s threatening steel.

I wasn't surprised by the early Broadway closure of #HereLiesLove, a political musical I've seen 4 times at different angles, both standing & floorside seating. The musical says a bit about how political leaders strategically apply personality to distract from their fascism.

ICYMI: The gurlz are out in these streets talking about #HereLiesLove. Some of it is good...but a lot of it has some raising eyebrows and feelin' a huge type of way about a disco musical focusing on Imelda Marcos.

Gorgeous view #HereLiesLove

“You might think you are lost
But then you will find
That God draws straight
But with crooked lines.”
