I was gobsmacked to read that a musical is barreling towards Broadway, and the subject matter is–Imelda Marcos?
My excitement grew when I read that David “This is Not My Beautiful House” Byrne and Fatboy Slim are the creative musical forces behind Here Lies Love, which was first conceived in 2010. Transformed to a musical last year at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Here Lies Love will hit the New York Stage this spring, at the Public Theater.
This is not the first time a musical has been made about a fashionista–remember Katherine Hepburn starring as Coco Chanel in the late 1960’s? But I’m fascinated to find out what these two make of the former Philippine First Lady. And yes, I do hope there’s a song featuring those infamous 3,000+ pairs of shoes.
