The David Byrne and Fatboy Slim musical Here Lies Love, which follows the 2010 double album of the same name and tells the story of Imelda Marcos’ life, will open in September.

The musical has already had a run in New York, and will premiere at the Dorfman Theatre in London on September 30th.

“We wanted it to continue, but because of the nature of the show – it’s a simulated danceclub disco and the performance goes on all around you – we can’t do it in a regular theatre,” Byrne has previously told Hollywood Reporter.

“So we looked and looked, and in the time since the last run, we didn’t find anything – almost but not quite. The Public generously said, ‘Come back into the place where you were. You can do a commercial run here, and we’ll make some kind of deal. We don’t want it to disappear for too long’.”
