Bowie fans have something to celebrate, with the announcement that David Bowie and Enda Walsh’s, Lazarus is officially coming to Australia in May 2019!

The musical, which was part of the late musician’s final project - along with his final album - debuted in New York in late 2015. The Australian production will be staged by ‘The Production Company’ in Melbourne. 

‘The Production Company’ Executive Producer, Rachel D Taylor said, “Lazarus was a dream come true for David Bowie, for decades he had spoken about writing a show, and when it was announced off-Broadway in 2015 the entire season sold out in a few hours.” 

“When I read the script, I found it incredibly moving, especially knowing that it was one of his final projects. And seeing songs like “Heroes” and “Changes” come out of the story was just spine-tingling. It’s rare to find a musical like Lazarus.”

Lazarus was one of Bowie’s last projects before his untimely death in 2016. The musical - which features 18 David Bowie songs - was inspired by Walter Tevis’ novel, The Man Who Fell to Earth – which was adapted for a film starring Bowie in 1976.

Lazarus cast and ticketing details will be announced on the 19th of February 2019.
