Bryne’s trademark irony punctuates the early scenes of the young “Rose of Tacloban,” who comes off as a social-climbing, gold-digging ingenue. Less than halfway through the show, the narrative pivots to grant Imelda some empathy — after all, how long can an audience, especially a non-Filipino one, endure a story about a totally unsympathetic character? #HereLiesLove

Tonight is the new David Byrne / Fatboy Slim karaoke dance musical Here Lies Love. The dance floor looks fun, but no way I could stand for 90 minutes, so I'm happy with my "floorside" seating.

For anyone in the #USA, especially those in #NewYorl! Screening of the film “11,103” about the #Marcos / #MartialLaw years in the #Philippines.

Tagalong curse words are fun. #HereLiesLove

Here Lies Love will open on #Broadway with no orchestra pit, instead using pre-recorded tracks. Performances are expected to begin June 17 at The Shubert Organization-owned Broadway Theatre. Pickets and protesters are a strong possibility. #HereLiesLove

Everyone involved in the production of #HereLiesLove is serving as a propagandist for the Marcos dynasty whether they intend it or not. From the creators (David Byrne and Fatboy Slim) to the cast (yes you, too, Ms Lea Salonga). Imelda and spawn are loving your tribute act.

Tony and Olivier Award winner #LeaSalonga will join the cast of the upcoming musical #HereLiesLove by #DavidByrne and #FatboySlim. The immersive musical begins previews at the #BroadwayTheatre Sunday, June 17 with an official opening set for Thursday, July 20. Salonga, making her return to #Broadway after her debut in #MissSaigon in 1991, will appear for five weeks from Tuesday, July 11 to Sunday, August 13. Guest stars from the Philippines will take over the role after her exit.

Yeah... maybe #HereLiesLove is a pro- #Filipino pro- FilAm show.

But which Filipino? The family who plunders and kills the Philippines for 20 yrs until today? Or the Filipinos who are suffering under their rule?

#Broadway

We’ve seen this musical before. There was a famine on Negros Island in the #Philippines whilst the Marcoses had this fancy dress ball on a yacht singing We Are the World. We don’t need Western artists to remind us of the obscenity and depravity of Imelda Marcos via a ‘disco musical’. #herelieslove

Please don't watch that Broadway show about Imelda Marcos.

The Marcoses are a blight upon our country and the only objective take is to highlight how they are continuously bleeding us dry, metaphorically and literally.

Here Lies Love is coming to Broadway.

WTF. I read this article and I’m pissed at the creator of this play.

Get your white-washed take and your general whiteness away from Philippine history.
Stop romanticizing Imelda Marcos challenge. This is precisely the reason why they are in power AGAIN.
