The other day, I was in the company at dinner time of a resident here that loves Broadway Musicals. In my younger years, I have been a patron of Broadway musicals from The Flower Drum Song era to the latest but closed The Phantom of the Opera. Who can forget Camelot with the song "If I ever Leave You", It could it be in springtime etc....
We talked about the coming opening of Here Lies Love in New York next Thursday July 20. It will be the first all- Filipino casts broadway musical with Lea Salonga. Here Lies Love is a musical with music by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, and lyrics by Byrne.
The biographical musical is based on Byrne's and Slim's concept music album based, in turn, on Byrne's research on the life of former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos. The musical's score is described as "disco pop."[
If you have not heard of Lea Salonga- here's an article on her current involvement with "Here Lies Love"-
My first personal contact with Lea was a few decades ago and I am posting the link as follows:
