David Bowie and Enda Walsh's musical Lazarus will open at the Kings Cross Theatre on 8th November  (previews from 25th October) for a limited run to 22nd January 2017.

Inspired by the book, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Lazarus focuses  on Thomas Newton, as he remains still on Earth - a 'man' unable to die, his head soaked in cheap gin and haunted by a past love. We follow Newton during the course of a few days where the arrival of another lost soul - might set him finally free.

Directed by Ivo van Hove, the show will play Tuesday to Saturdays at 8:00 pm with 3:00 pm matinees on Wednesday, Saturday & Sundays.

The show premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2015  selling out in record time. Reprising their roles from the original New York production are Michael C Hall, Michael Esper and Sophia Anne Caruso.
