Here Lies Love
About the Show
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. From the minds of David Byrne (Academy Award®, Grammy Award®, and Tony Award® winner) and Fatboy Slim (Grammy Award® winner), Here Lies Love has been called “ingenious” by The New York Times and “an ecstatic and dynamic party” by Time Out New York. With choreography by Annie-B Parson (Olivier Award nominee) and developed and directed by Alex Timbers (Tony Award® winner), the theater is transformed into a dance club where the audience is immersed in the story.
After sold-out, critically acclaimed runs at The Public Theater, London’s National Theatre, and Seattle Rep, Here Lies Love is now on Broadway. Ticket buyers can experience this revolutionary production in two ways: immersed within the show standing on the dance floor, or from an array of traditional and innovative theater seating options.

About the Theatre
Broadway Theatre
1681 Broadway
New York, NY 10019
The Broadway Theatre is one of only five playhouses that actually face the street named Broadway. It opened in 1924 as a premiere film house. The most notable film that played there was Walt Disney’s Steamboat Willie in 1928, which introduced audiences to an adorable rodent named Mickey Mouse. The theatre went “legit” from 1930 to 1934, when it was re-christened the Broadway. From 1934 to 1940, the house was once again dedicated to motion picture exhibition, and offered the premiere of Disney’s Fantasia in 1939. In 1940, however, it returned to legitimate stage production and, except for a brief stint as a Cinerama movie theatre in the 1950s, has remained in the business of showcasing live theatre ever since.
