In what easily qualifies as one of the flat-out coolest things to ever happen on Broadway, David Bryne brings his *American Utopia* back to Broadway, the same as it ever was. Get *American Utopia* tickets now.

Byrne, who established himself firmly in the coolness mainstream as the lead singer of the Talking Heads, gets the show’s title from his recent album of the same name. However, *American Utopia* on Broadway is not be a mere concert but rather a full-blown theatrical spectacle. 

With the help of production consultant Alex Timbers (who certainly knows a thing or two about spectacle since he directed Broadway’s [*Moulin Rouge! The Musical*](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/15911-moulin-rouge--the-musical)) as well as choreographer and musical stager Annie-B Parson, this form-bending experience features a dozen onstage musicians, and tunes from Byrne’s vast songbook — as well as some surprises from outside of it. Beyond that, details are scarce and the visionary performer would like to keep it that way. “I’m not going to tell you what I think it’s about,” Byrne tells The New York Times. “That’s for you to see.”

## What to Watch For

- Although *American Utopia* marks Byrne’s Broadway debut, it’s far from his first time dipping his toes into theatrical waters. He previously authored both *Joan of Arc: Into the Fire* and *Here Lies Love*. Both of those shows are marked by more characteristically “Broadway” traits, while *American Utopia* is neither play nor musical, according to Byrne.
- *American Utopia* also reunites the “Byrne dream team.” For both of his previous theatrical outings, *Joan of Arc: Into the Fire* and *Here Lies Love*, he collaborated with Alex Timbers and Annie-B Parson. However Timbers, here, serves as the production consultant, while Parson is heading up both staging and choreography.
- It's hard to put a precise finger on *American Utopia* for another reason: It’s a confluence of mediums. The show was first an album before that album became a touring concert production (which traveled to a whopping 27 countries in 2018), before finally making its way to a proscenium stage for yet another new configuration suited for Broadway.
- *American Utopia* has universal appeal, and not just because of its universal source material. The 12 musicians onstage hail from all corners of the world, across countries and continents. Fortunately, rhythm is the same in every language.

The show is recommended for all ages.


David Byrne's American Utopia on Broadway - NYC (NEW) - TodayTix

David Byrne's American Utopia&nbsp;is at St. James Theatre from September 17.&nbsp;David Byrne's American Utopia&nbsp;tickets are on sale soon.David Byrne's American Utopia&nbsp;originally landed&nbsp;on Broadway for a strictly limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre from&nbsp;October 4, 2019.&nbsp;American Utopia is the seventh solo studio album by celebrated singer-songwriter David Byrne, which was released on March 9, 2018, hitting #3 in the US Billboard charts and featuring the single "Everybody's Coming to My House." Since the album's release, Byrne has been touring internationally with a show that NME describes as "the most ambitious and impressive live show of all time." The production, which blurs the lines "between gig and theatre, poetry and dance," has now found a home on Broadway in the heart of New York City, offering fans a unique evening at the theatre in celebration of not only American Utopia, but also of Byrne's extensive back catalogue of hits.He is, of course, perhaps best known for his days as the frontman and guitarist of the American new wave band Talking Heads, who were active from 1975 through 1991 and spawned such hits as "Psycho Killer," "Life During Wartime," and "Once in a Lifetime." To theatre fans, however, Byrne is probably most admired for his work on Here Lies Love - a disco opera charting the life of former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos, that played to great acclaim at New York's Public Theater (winning five Lucille Lortel Awards) and London's National Theatre (earning three Olivier Award nominations, including "Best New Musical").Byrne's other work in theatre includes Secret Life of Humans at 59E59 Theaters, Joan of Arc: Into the Fire at the Public Theater, and The Catherine Wheel on Broadway, among others. And aside from his Drama Desk, Obie, and Outer Critics Circle Awards in theatre, his long list of accolades also includes an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy Award for the 1987 film "The Last Emperor."David Byrne's American Utopia is a must-see for all Talking Heads and new wave fans and for all those who embrace innovative ways of fusing together the pulsating worlds of theatre and music.David Byrne's American Utopia&nbsp;has won a special Tony Award, honoring outstanding productions.&nbsp;<a href="/news-features/american-utopia-freestyle-love-supreme-bac-special-tony-awards">Find out more here.</a>&nbsp;David Byrne's American Utopia&nbsp;is also nominated for six 2021 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Music Direction.(Photos by Matthew Murphy)

Pricking up your ears —&nbsp;and your peepers —&nbsp;in a state of streaming delight goes with the territory at <a href="/show/david-byrnes-american-utopia">American Utopia</a>, David Byrne's dazzling concert production back on Broadway for an encore joy jolt.The show returns with triumphant signs of its success, including a shiny special Tony Award for its four-month sold-out run that wrapped in February 2020. There's also a filmed live-capture performance directed by Spike Lee, who was in the audience (doing research, perhaps?) when I sat rapt at the production for the first time in October 2019.Two years down the road, the world has changed in dramatic ways. American Utopia, based on the former Talking Head frontman's 2018 album and tour of the same name, remains essentially unchanged.&nbsp;But, as it's said, it's all in the timing. Byrne acknowledges that the script, though the same as before, may land a bit differently now than in the pre-pandemic "old world." Case in point: his exuberant welcome to the audience in the opening moments.&nbsp;"Thank you for coming ... Thank you for leaving your homes," he says. The bit got giggles before, and still sparks laughs, but for different reasons. After all, masked theatergoers leaving home still grapple with an ongoing global health crisis that plunged them into lockdown.&nbsp;Unrestricted movement, or the opposite of lockdown, underpins this theatrical experience. "We don't have any cable or wires attached to us in these shows, attaching to gear or equipment or any of those kinds of things," Byrne says. "We're completely untethered ... It's very liberating." &nbsp;And completely captivating.&nbsp;"Here" gets the show up and running. Unspooling over 100 unbroken minutes the set list covers new and old songs and fan favorites and lesser-known music from Byrne's career. Listen up for "Every Day Is a Miracle," "Slippery People," "Once in a Lifetime," and "Burning Down the House." A rendition of Janelle Monae's protest song "Hell You Talmbout," along with brief allusions to local elections, lends a bit of political heft.The soundscape is gorgeous, lyrics landing with bell-like clarity —&nbsp;even "I Zimbra"'s "bim blassa galassasa zimbrabim," drawn from a nonsense poem. Of course, you expect a concert staging to be an earful. This one is, and then some. You can feel the insistent throbbing drumbeats in a way that only emanates from a live performance.The fact that the show is visually thrilling is all the more remarkable considering its stripped-back, monochromatic production design. The stage is naked, just like the feet of the shoeless cast uniformly dressed in grey suits. Countless grey-silver dangling chains create walls on three sides of the stage.Grey matter figures into the show's loose narrative, too. Early on Byrne strikes a Hamlet-y pose, holding a prop brain and pondering why babies "have hundreds of millions more neural connections than we do as adults."&nbsp;Where do those connections go? He eventually reveals his theory, if not his hope. Perhaps they "somehow get kind of reestablished, only now instead of being in our heads," he says, "they're between us and other people."Byrne's essential onstage connections are 11 other ace performers who handle vocals, drums, strings, keyboard and movement so polished, tight and precise it could make a marching band or a rhythmic gymnastics squad each swoon.&nbsp;The choreography and musical staging are by Annie-B Parson. Moulin Rouge! The Musical Tony winner Alex Timbers, who knows his way around moving parts and kinetic spectacle, is a production consultant.In a happy and hummable final thought, this Broadway trip concludes with "Road to Nowhere." Byrne and company offer a journey that's not to be missed.&nbsp;<a href="/show/david-byrnes-american-utopia">American Utopia is playing the&nbsp;St. James Theatre.

Designed by Warren and Wetmore, the St. James Theatre was built by producer Abraham L. Erlanger on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant (which is now located down the block). The theatre opened in 1927 as The Erlanger with the inaugural production *Merry Malones*.

The Astor family took over the venue in 1930 after Erlanger's death and renamed it the St. James Theatre in 1932.

The Shubert Organization took control in 1941 before relinquishing the building to William L. McKnight in 1957. In 1970, he passed it on to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, the founders of theatre-ownership company Jujamcyn Theaters. The organization still operates the St. James today.
