By Erik Piepenburg and Erik Braund on Publish Date August 25, 2014.This week’s video features Kelvin Moon Loh singing the number “God Draws Straight” from “Here Lies Love,” a musical about the life of Imelda Marcos, the former first lady of the Philippines.
Running at the Public Theater, “Here Lies Love” features a disco-inspired score by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, with direction by Alex Timbers. Dancing is encouraged during the show, which is staged on modular sets that move around the theater. In his review, Ben Brantley calls the work an “exciting new poperetta” in which “all the world’s a dance floor, and all the men and women merely disco rats.”
