Dexter star Michael C. Hall will star as Thomas Newton in Lazarus this winter, a role famously played by David Bowie. The off-Broadway production is co-written by Bowie and playwright Enda Walsh (Once) and is based on Walter Tevis’ classic 1963 sci-fi novel The Man Who Fell to Earth. Bowie appeared in the role of Newton in Nicolas Roeg’s cult 1976 film version of the tale about an extraterrestrial who crash-lands on Earth seeking water to save his drought-stricken planet. Few details have been released about the upcoming new version of Lazarus, which will be staged by Ivo van Hove. In any case, the Belgian avant-garde theater director’s acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge, starring Mark Strong, is headed to Broadway in the fall.
