Imelda Marcos Musical

I read this with disbelief. My disbelief wasn't that Fatboy Slim (good candidate for the crappest name ever) was involved because I have no hesitation in passing by anything he has ever done with a blink of an eye but David Byrne? DAVID BYRNE for fucksake! What is he thinking of? I have no concept of why anyone would want to produce a musical about someone who is obviously so wrapped up in herself as Imelda Marcos. She and her husband behaved appallingly and it is difficult to see any merit in their lives at all that warrants a musical. Unless its about how stupid and fat they were but how they loved music. Hey, maybe that's what it's about - DON'T DO IT DAVID!!!!
