Lazarus is based around a collection of David Bowie’s songs, but it is not some slick, get-rich-quick, ‘play the hits’ Broadway moneymaker. For 2021, a recorded performance of it will livestream all weekend, from his birthday to his death-day. Before and after his death, new Bowie material has been released on his birthday, from his 2013 single “Where Are We Now?” ( QRO review) to his posthumous No Plan EP ( QRO review), which was him performing his original songs for Lazarus. That death shook not just the musical world but the Earth as a whole, and is still reverberating. The iconic Bowie put together Lazarus with Enda Walsh in 2015, and it was one of the last works he completed before his death on January 10th, 2016, two days after his sixty-nineteenth birthday. A really special one is coming this weekend, David Bowie’s musical Lazarus. Yes, 2020 ended, but as U2 warned us, “Nothing changes on New Year’s Day.” People have been getting by, even reinventing, like a number of livestreams by artists & performances who can’t be in-person. You are likely reading this stuck at home, either laboring over Zoom, have an at-risk essential job, or out of work and don’t know when/if you’ll be back. We live in very strange times, from Britain being under lockdown to right-wingers storming the Capitol as the President & others basically egged them on.
