HERE LIES LOVE - Broadway Previews

Very curious about this one. I am holding off on buying tickets until I read different seating reports on here. If you go, please share where you sit and what the experience is.

I do have a ticket for the first preview

I bought two tickets during the in-person ticket promotion at the Broadway Theatre and am looking to swap tickets for another date.

Looking to do an even exchange.   Please DM me.

Why is everyone so down on Timbers? 

Anyone go to the invited dress last night?

Actor-comedian Jo Koy has joined the producing team.

I just feel like this is going to flop. Hard. They barely squeaked by on their post-Public commercial run, and the show has been out of the public eye for several years. Given what a massive undertaking the set is, and now the additional cost of paying live musicians (which I’m sure they didn’t anticipate or budget), this has to be a huge hit to recoup and word of mouth has never been that crazy for it. It has its fans, I’m sure, but - as someone who didn’t know the show/see the OG production and listened to the OCR - I have no interest in seeing this. One of the most unappealing scores I’ve ever heard.

I’ll admit this reminds me of what happened to KPOP last fall. I enjoyed both musicals when I saw them off-Broadway (Here Lies Love back in 2013 and KPOP back in 2017.) I still hope it succeeds though.

Word of mouth back in 2013 was crazy! I recall it was sold out at the Public and it extended more than once due to popularity.

 

 

Any word on if they're doing rush/lottery?  I imagine they'd probably have floor tickets in the mix for those.

I would hope if floor seats are sold via TKTS that ticket buyers are told this before purchasing. Nothing worse than an elderly person or handicap person buying a floor seat to this show and not being made aware of it.

The beat is about to drop.

A decade after a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run, the hottest nightclub in New York City launches on 53rd Street, as the EDM musical Here Lies Love begins previews tomorrow night (June 17) before a July 20 opening at the newly reimagined Broadway Theatre. The cast — the first such all-Filipino group on Broadway — is led by Arielle Jacobs, Jose Llana, and Conrad Ricamora; Tony winner Lea Salonga will join the company from July 11 through August 13 for a special guest engagement. Here Lies Love is based on a concept by Talking Heads frontman David Byrne; the music is by Byrne and DJ Fatboy Slim, with lyrics also by Byrne. Annie-B Parson choreographs, and Alex Timbers directs.

“Here Lies Love is a groundbreaking musical about former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos’s astonishing rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. From the minds of David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, Here Lies Love has been called ‘ingenious’ by The New York Times and ‘an ecstatic and dynamic party’ by Time Out New York. Choreographed by Annie-B Parson and developed and directed by Alex Timbers, the theater is transformed into a dance club where the audience is immersed in the story.”

Who’s heading to the dance floor?

LaChanze is also one of the many co-producers on this show. She’s everywhere!
