Rolling Stone Watch London Production of David Bowie’s ‘Lazarus’ in Honor of Icon’s Birthday
Filmed live onstage in 2016, livestreams will run from January 8th, 2021 (Bowie’s 74th birthday) to January 10th (the fifth anniversary of his death)
By
The London production of David Bowie’s musical
Lazarus will be livestreamed for the first time next month to mark both the late Bowie’s 74th birthday as well as the fifth anniversary of his death.
Recorded live on the King’s Cross Theatre stage in late 2016, the production starred actor Michael C. Hall as Thomas Newton, the same role Bowie played in the 1976 film
Verdict: Required viewing for Bowie fans
Let’s not pretend to be surprised that the David Bowie musical Lazarus is a teeny bit pretentious.
That was certainly the view of many critics when it first appeared in London five years ago. But for those of us who were certified Spiders From Mars, back in the salad days of our misspent youth, it’s still required viewing.
I was certainly sorry to miss Ivo van Hove’s sell-out production when it transferred from New York to London’s King’s Cross Theatre in 2016.
So I leapt at the chance to watch this live recording, which has been released on live-music website dice.fm to coincide with Bowie’s birth and death days (today and Sunday, respectively).
