Lazarus- Michael C. Hall

Lazarus- Michael C. Hall
My daughter was twice lucky, her honey bought tickets and they went to the performance last night.
From The Guardian 
After Michael C Hall had been cast in Lazarus, the musical inspired by The Man Who Fell to Earth, he found himself performing one of David Bowie’s songs to the man himself. Battling nerves, he got through to the final verse to find an approving Bowie supplying backing vocals. “OK, this is it,” Hall realised. “I have nothing left to fear.”

Bowie died weeks after the show opened in New York. Now, Hall is bringing Lazarus, which features new songs and classic tracks spanning Bowie’s career, to London. Watch him perform the show’s title number (also featured on the valedictory album Blackstar) in this performance at London’s Arts Club.

Lazarus, co-written by Bowie and Enda Walsh, and directed by Ivo van Hove, begins previews at the new Kings Cross theatre, London, on 25 October. The Lazarus cast album is out now.

Lyrics
Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain't that just like me?

By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
There I'd used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now, ain't that just like me?
Oh, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh, I'll be free
Ain't that just like me?
