H.E.R. and Tia Carrere lead star-studded red carpet for Broadway opening of musical Here Lies Love about Imelda Marcos
HER and Tia Carrere led the star-studded red carpet for Wednesday night’s Broadway opening of the musical Here Lies Love.
An immersive theatrical experience set to a score by Fatboy Slim and David Byrne, Here Lies Love tells the rollercoaster life story of Imelda Marcos.
The show began as a concept album in 2010, before being developed into a stage play that made its off-Broadway debut in 2013.
Now Here Lies Love has reached the Great White Way, where a procession of bold names emerged this week to celebrate its arrival.
Tia, 56, was an undeniable presence among them in a summer floral dress in monochromatic shades to add a touch of formality.
