Here Lies Love is now on Broadway playing at the transformed Broadway Theatre and we have your first look at the new musical. Watch the company led by Arielle Jacobs in this new sneak preview.
In addition to Jacobs starring as Imelda Marcos, the cast stars Jose Llana (Ferdinand Marcos) and Conrad Ricamora (Benigno” Ninoy” Aquino), as well as Tony Award winner Lea Salonga who is currently playing a special five-week-only guest engagement through August 13. This marks the first time an all-Filipino cast will perform on Broadway.
The company also includes Melody Butiu, Moses Villarama, Jasmine Forsberg, Reanne Acasio, Jaygee Macapugay, Julia Abueva, Renée Albulario, Aaron Alcaraz, Carol Angeli, Nathan Angelo, Kristina Doucette, Roy Flores, Timothy Matthew Flores, Sarah Kay, Jeigh Madjus, Aaron “AJ” Mercado, Geena Quintos, Shea Renne, and Angelo Soriano.
From the minds of Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award winner David Byrne (concept, music and lyrics) and Grammy Award winner Fatboy Slim (music), Here Lies Love tells the story of Imelda Marcos’ rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. Developed & directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, with choreography by Olivier Award nominee Annie-B Parson, Here Lies Love will transform the Broadway Theatre into a dance club where the audience is immersed in the story on the dance floor or in traditional theater seating. The musical begins performances Saturday, June 17, 2023, ahead of an official opening night on Thursday, July 20, 2023.
