Lazarus is a musical written by David Bowie and Enda Walsh, and produced by John Guare. First performed at the end of 2015, it was one of the the last works Bowie completed before his death on 10 January 2016. The musical is a continuation of the story from the movie The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Production details
The musical is currently staged for a limited run at New York Theatre Workshop in Manhattan.[1] Like Bowie's contemporary album Blackstar (which shares some of the music)[2], much of the production of the musical was kept in secret until its first preview in November 2015. The musical opened on 7 December 2016[3] with a planned run through 17 January 2016.[4] Tickets to the entire run of the musical sold out within hours of being made available.[5]
The play was written by Bowie and Enda Walsh.[3] It was produced by Bowie and John Guare.[1] It is directed by Ivo van Hove.[6]
Michael C. Hall stars in the current production of the musical.[3]
