David Byrne's American Utopia

Talking Heads frontman David Byrne takes an eye-opening tour around his songbook, as Spike Lee captures his Broadway show American Utopia. Through charming storytelling and bravura staging, he puts a brilliantly creative, full company twist on some of his classic songs including ‘Burning Down the House’, ‘Road to Nowhere’ and ‘This Must Be the Place’ as well as newer originals from his solo career.

Even if you are a newcomer to Byrne’s brilliance, the captivating choreography and full band re-arrangements make this a great entry point, as well as a way to breathe new life for long-standing fans. At a time when the utopian possibilities of the United States seem harder than ever to capture, this spirited and life-affirming concert does the near-impossible.
