David Byrne is bringing disco to Broadway.
The musical’s post-pandemic return amplifies its themes of escapism and hedonism in the midst of a mainstream revival of dance music and the culture that orbits around it.

will be produced by Hal Luftig, Patrick Catullo, Diana DiMenna, Clint Ramos, and Jose Antonio Vargas. “As a team of binational American producers – Filipinos among us – we are thrilled to bring Here Lies Love to Broadway,” the producers shared in a joint statement. “We welcome everyone to experience this singularly exuberant piece of theatre.
