NewsBowie's Lazarus Plays Its Final Performance Off-Broadway TonightThe New York Theatre Workshop production of David Bowie and Enda Walsh's musical Lazarus plays its final performance Jan. 20. Outside the Off-Broadway venue, fans and theatregoers have tearfully mourned the death of music icon Bowie since he unexpectedly lost his battle with cancer Jan. 10.
The world-premiere musical features new songs specially composed by Bowie as well as new arrangements of previously recorded songs. Inspired by Walter Tevis' best-selling 1963 novel, "The Man Who Fell to Earth," the story follows Thomas Newton – played by Michael C. Hall – a human-looking and lovelorn alien who has been abandoned on the planet.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
