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.
