I remember being a small child and hearing about Imelda Marcos (and her shoes) and thinking, “What’s so wrong with that?”  There’s something kooky and campy and slightly dark about about her whole persona, which is why I’m dying to see Here Lies Love at the the Public Theater.  Created by David Byrne with help by Fatboy Slim it’s less of a traditional musical and more of an event. The show has just been extended through May 19th.
I can’t stop listening to Florence Welch singing the title song.

Good right?  Oh, and the concept album is available on iTunes, with Florence Welch, Cyndi Lauper, and Santigold etc etc etc.
