David Byrne’s American Utopia

David Byrne’s American Utopia is an original blend of theater and live music from Talking Heads’ icon David Byrne! We could all use a little Utopia right now! Originally arriving on Broadway after a sold out world tour, the gray-suited troupe of musicians returns to perform hits from Byrne’s career. If you want to rediscover the joy of live music, community connection. Broadway’s St. James Theater must be the place!

  • SYNOPSIS

    David Byrne's American Utopia delivers “an experience unlike anything else” (Billboard) and marks a major cultural milestone in the worlds of music and theater. Innovative pop/rock icon David Byrne (Talking Heads, Here Lies Love) shares the spotlight with a diverse ensemble of 11 musical artists from around the globe. Together with staging and choreography by Annie-B Parson, and with Alex Timbers serving as production consultant (his collaborators on Here Lies Love), David Byrne and ensemble deliver “a marvel of staging and motion” (Chicago Tribune) that’s as surprisingly poignant as it is supremely funky.  Don’t miss this “thought-provoking example of the power of live music” (Forbes).
