Great staging, Intelligent, Great singing

See it if you love Talking Heads, David Byrne's brand of intelligent commentary, original staging and fabulous music

Don't see it if the only reason to miss this show is if you don't like David Byrne. We LOVED it.

Energetic, Refreshing, Quirky, Delightful, Clever

See it if you love staged concerts, want something totally new/different, enjoy live bands, are politically minded, love the weird mind of David Byrne

Don't see it if you want a structured plot, don't like modern musicals, are taking children, are bothered by strobe lights.

Must see, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you like rock music AT ALL (you don't have to be a Talking Heads fan, though it helps) and are just looking for a damn good time!

Don't see it if audience members acting like they are at a rock concert (standing, yelling, singing along) bothers you

Delightful, Masterful, Great singing, Great staging, Entertaining

See it if you want to enjoy a night of great music with exciting choreography, perfect sound and thrilling lighting -not only Byrne but an entire cast

Don't see it if you are looking for a musical that tells a story. This is 1 3/4 hrs of Byrne's songs and talk loaded with important messages.

Must see, Great staging, Refreshing, Life-affirming, Creative

See it if ur a Byrne fan (or even if ur not) & want to see a joyful celebration of world music & universal harmony in an inventively-staged concert.

Don't see it if ur looking for a traditional Bway show with a plot, narrative, characters, etc. [Otherwise... just see this much-needed festival of life.] Read more
