A star-studded red carpet got underway Thursday for a bold Broadway musical. It was opening night for 'Here Lies Love,' a high-octane Filipino history lesson set in a disco. DaveCarlinTV reports.
It's a high-octane Filipino history lesson set in a disco, telling the story of Imelda Marcos with dancing, drama and staging that is very in-your-face.
"Shining on stage with this completely 100 percent Filipino cast for the first time ever, I'm so, so honored to be a part of it," Jacobs said."It's definitely a marathon. It's 90 minutes straight and I have 19 costume changes.""We're a shiny disco ball dance party on the surface, but when you watch the whole show, you get given a lesson in history and a lesson in how to protect democracy," said actor Jose Llana, who plays Ferdinand Marcos.
"Members of the audience really being moved by the piece to feel immersed in the story," said actress Melody Butiu, who plays Estrella Cumpus."It's so revolutionary, so everybody's kind of in for a little bit of a surprise," said actress Jasmine Forsberg, who plays Maria Luisa. This musical by David Byrne and directed by Alex Timbers officially opens on a Broadway that is open for business while strikes have Hollywood essentially shut down.The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, or IATSE, reached a tentative contract agreement with the Broadway League and Disney Theatrical Productions on Thursday.
