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.
