David Byrne’s acclaimed theatrical concert performance in support of his 2018 album American Utopia will be staged on Broadway later this year. The show will run in the 1,500-capacity Hudson Theater in New York City for 16 weeks, from October 4 through January 19, 2020. An official opening performance will be held on October 20. Talking about the concept of the acclaimed stage show, Byrne wrote on his website, “As I was recording the songs for my American Utopia album, it occurred to me that they would be exciting to play live – and I realized that a lot of my older material would fit right in.” “I imagined a live show. . I pictured a lot of drummers, a kind of drum line/samba school/second line – that would create the rhythms. I had this vision of how exciting that would be – both for me and for an audience,” the former Talking Heads frontman added. Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
