David Byrne and Fatboy Slim Musical Here Lies Love Coming to Broadway
Disco pop musical Here Lies Love, featuring the music of seemingly unlikely duo David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, is headed to Broadway. Opening this summer, Here Lies Love is based on Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s 2010 concept album of the same name about the rise to power of former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos and her subsequent fall to the People Power Revolution. A previous iteration of the musical played off-Broadway in 2013 and 2014. Staged at Broadway Theatre, the musical will transform the venue into a dance club environment where audiences will stand and move with the actors. Once again, Alex Timbers will direct, with Annie-B Parson as choreographer. Timbers and Parson also worked on Byrne’s American Utopia Broadway show, which closed in April 2022.

Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher Star in Trailer for Your Place or Mine: Watch
Netflix has today revealed the trailer for Your Place or Mine, the upcoming rom-com starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. It begins streaming February 10th, just in time for Valentine’s Day. In the film, Debbie (Witherspoon) and Peter (Kutcher) are a pair of long-distance best friends who, despite one sexual encounter and many miles between them, have kept in constant contact for 20 years. Peter convinces Debbie, now a single mom, to stay in his New York apartment for a week to finally re-focus on herself; Peter, in return, comes to Debbie’s house in Los Angeles to watch her teenage son. Their seemingly perfect plan is thwarted, though, when Peter realizes he may have had feelings for Debbie the entire duration of their friendship — meaning the bi-coastal lifestyle ...
Hunters Season 2 Review: An Uneven, But Never Boring, Conclusion to the Prime Video Series
The Pitch: If there’s one thing most of us can agree on, it’s that Nazis are bad. But what kind of justice does a Nazi deserve? That’s the ethical question underlying the second and final season of Hunters, the Jordan Peele-produced and very peculiar Prime Video thriller series about a ’70s-era vigilante force formed around one goal: track down all the Nazis who evaded persecution after World War II, and use the efficiency of bullets to stop them for good. Created by David Weil, Hunters is coming to a close after only 18 episodes, which somehow seems simultaneously like too many episodes and too few. But while suffering from writing issues and a lack of consistency in tone, there are moments of dialogue, performances, and in one case an entire episode which reveal the underlying potential ...

Eurovision Is “Disgusting,” Says Eurovision Contestant John Lydon
The Eurovison Song Contest is “disgusting,” “phony,” and “absolutely awful,” according to upcoming Eurovision contestant John Lydon. The former Sex Pistols frontman trashed the contest on RTE’s Radio 1 just one day after announcing that his band, Public Image Ltd., would be vying to represent Ireland. “It’s absolutely awful, the songs,” Lydon said (via Metro). “The whole thing of it is disgusting to me. I’m a songwriter, I perform live, and these shows just come across as so dreadfully phony to me.” Advertisement Related Video He added that he had never watched Eurovision in his life. “But look, we’re giving it a chance to break out of that mould,” he said, though he had “no idea” how to go about it, and in fact seemed unsure of what would be demanded of him. “Apparently, I have to do...
Liturgy Share Choral Piece “Angel of Sovereignty” Ahead of Upcoming Double Album: Stream
Liturgy have shared the choral piece “Angel of Sovereignty” ahead of their upcoming double album 93696, out March 24th. Outwardly, a two-minute song that’s almost exclusively the sound of a children’s choir seems like a bizarre choice for a single. But Liturgy have been known to throw a curveball, and the track epitomizes the project’s uncompromising nature. There are no traditional rock instruments; nor is there anything remotely metal about the piece. However, the same compositional complexities that run through Liturgy’s “heavier” offerings, if you will, are still at work here. The arrangement of the vocal melodies is unconventional and beguiling — a test for listeners both in its choir-only format and composition. Advertisement Related Video As a teaser for 93696, the track has effecti...
