David Bowie's musical Lazarus arrives in London following a critically acclaimed New York run.

Selling out in just minutes when it opened off-Broadway, Lazarus tells the story of a humanoid alien driven from his planet by drought. Stranded on Earth, the alien Newton amasses a fortune while trying, and failing, to create a spaceship that can return him home. Experimented on by the government, stuck on Earth and unable to die, Newton lives in melancholy isolation, watching television, drinking gin and eating Twinkies.

A thrilling, wild and fantastical show, Lazarus was written by celebrated playwright Enda Walsh and original spaceman David Bowie, a man at the vanguard of music for fifty years. Based on the Walter Tevis novel The Man Who Fell to Earth, previously adapted into the 1976 fantasy-drama film starring Bowie, Lazarus emerged during a flurry of creativity near the end of the musician’s life.
Showcasing Bowie classics as well as new material from his final studio album Blackstar, directed by the Tony Award-winning director Ivo van Hove and starring TV superstar Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under), Lazarus is a brilliant and fevered dream shot through with spine-tingling music and visual effects.

Playing at the brand-new, purpose-built auditorium the Kings Cross Theatre, tickets to Lazarus are sure to be like gold dust. Don’t miss out, book yours today!

    I am a huge Bowie Fan and have been from about 1975. I saw Lazarus on the Fan night in New York. What can I say, the show was amazing and I felt the closest to Bowie, while seeing the show. The performance is a very complex layer of emotions, experiences and links to Bowie, brought together with Bowie’s music, aspects of his life and the continuation of the story of The Man Who Fell To Earth. I felt it was the closest thing to being inside his head and I really hope that this show continues to be performed. Long may it continue to grow and develop. Thank you.
