Here Lies Love — a disco musical created by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim about the life of former Filipino first lady Imelda Marcos — will close on Broadway on November 26, the show’s producers announced this morning (November 7). An ambitious, $22 million affair, the production took over Manhattan’s Broadway Theatre, renovating the space to accommodate spinning stages and a state-of-the-art audio system that created a club atmosphere.

The new production opened roughly a year after Imelda and Ferdinand’s son, Bongbong Marcos, succeeded Rodrigo Duterte as president of the Philippines.
