“New York’s a go-go”
The current issue of New York magazine (November 30th – December 13) has a double-page spread of pictures from Lazarus rehearsals taken by Jan Versweyveld.
The photos accompany a brief piece by Rebecca Milzoff, in which she talks to director Ivo van Hove. Here’s an excerpt…
Lazarus picks up the story of alien visitor Thomas Newton (played by Michael C. Hall) 30 years after the events of the 1976 sci-fi film The Man Who Fell to Earth (which starred Bowie). Of the 20 Bowie songs used, four are new compositions. “The songs are always there to drive the story,” van Hove explains. “There are more violent songs about the world outside, and then very romantic songs, about the longing for something more poetic and tender in life.”
See the full piece online with a gallery of all the pictures from the spread here. Lazarus opens at New York Theatre Workshop on December 7th.
