Author ScarletScarlet, July 26th, 2023

Find out what the critics had to say about Here Lies Love on Broadway!

In an electrifying opening night, Here Lies Love has left audiences and critics alike enthralled! This musical sensation, created by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, brings to life the fascinating journey of Imelda Marcos, the former First lady of the Philippines. Following doubts of whether we needed another historical musical when we already have the likes of Les Miserable and Hamilton, the immersive staging and disco biomusical has garnered widespread acclaim.

Let's dive into the reviews and discover why Here Lies Love is already being hailed a must-see sensation of the season. 

"The groundbreaking, floor-shaking Here Lies Love makes space for itself like no Broadway show ever has... the kinetic rush of the designwhich includes lighting by Justin Townsend, projections by Peter Nigrini and sound by M.L. Dogg and Cody Spenceris matched by an energetic ensemble, perfectly costumed by Clint Ramos"

The groundbreaking, floor-shaking Here Lies Love makes space for itself like no Broadway show ever has


"The show's real star is the glitzy, all-encompassing set by David Korins. As the action unfolds, stage platforms shift, audience members shuffle, and video projections display live-action crowd shots and historical documents on large screens throughout the auditorium...this rollicking, form-breaking musical party is well worth an RSVP."

This rollicking, form-breaking musical party is well worth an RSVP.

"Alex Timbers' extraordinarily inventive direction of "Here Lies Loves" makes this musical worth seeing... David Korins's scenic design for "Here Lies Love" on Broadway is far more expansive than the bare-bones production at the Public, and it is immensely enhanced by Peter Nigrini's jazzy projection designs of vintage photos, documentaries and animated graphics that literally engulf the theater...No, "Here Lies Love" isn't about Ferdinand or Imelda or even a bygone Philippines. It's all about Alex Timbers."
- The Wrap

"The rambunctious new immersive musical from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, pushes the concept to an extreme that likely won't be matched until someone has the bright idea to transform Party Monster into The Michael Alig Musical...Here Lies Love boasts the talents of David Korins (scenic design), Clint Ramos (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), and M.L. Dogg & Cody Spencer (sound design), all at the top of their games."

It looks like Here Lies Love has all the ingredients and then some to challenge some of Broadway's current musicals!
