David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's musical Here Lies Love, currently playing at the Public Theater in New York City, opens in previews in London tomorrow night, Tuesday, September 30. The National Theatre is producing the musical, which will be the first production in its Dorfman Theatre. The official Opening Night is October 14, and performances are scheduled to run through January 8, 2015.

As with the New York production, the building will be turned into a dance club with lights, sound, and drink, reflecting former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos's love for disco and club music served as the inspiration for the musical. Here Lies Love tells Marcos's story, retracing her meteoric rise to power and subsequent descent into infamy and disgrace at the end of the People Power Revolution. Alex Timbers, director of the New York production, will helm the London production as well.

"I’ll be there, on the floor, for most of the rehearsals and previews," says David Byrne. "Probably singing along (to myself—though sometimes I get carried away). I suspect Norm [Cook (Fatboy Slim)] will be there sometimes, as well. There will be seats on a balcony we’ll construct, but I recommend getting on the dance floor with the crowd (and some of the actors)."
