The acclaimed director filmed a live performance of\u00a0<em>David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia<\/em>, and HBO will air it later this year. Regarding the show\u2019s Broadway run, Bryne said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI often get asked, \u2018What is this show about? What is this song about? What is the message, what are you trying to tell us?\u2019 My preferred answer would be to refer them to the quote from old-school Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn: \u201cIf you want to send a message, use Western Union!\u201d It seems to me that in creating something\u2014a song, a show, a blog post, a meal, a dance\u2014a vision comes together, intuitively, gradually, bit by bit, little by little, and we don\u2019t always know the totality of what we\u2019ve made until we can actually see, hear and taste it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is my honor and privilege that my art brother, Mr. David Byrne, asked me to join him in concert, to invite me into his magnificent world of <em>American Utopia<\/em>,\u201d said\u00a0Spike Lee. \u201cAnd dat\u2019s da \u2018once in a lifetime\u2019 truth, Ruth. Ya-dig? Sho-nuff. Peace and love. Be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Byrne added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSpike and I have crossed paths many times over the years, obviously I\u2019m a huge fan and now finally here was an opportunity for us to work together. I am absolutely thrilled with the result. The Broadway show was a wonderful challenge as well as an opportunity \u2013 it was a joy to perform and, well, best to let the quotes speak for themselves. Thrilled that this show and the subjects it addresses will now reach a wider audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The stage show saw Byrne\u00a0together with 11 musical artists from around the world \u201cperforming songs from Byrne\u2019s 2018 album of the same name, along with songs from Talking Heads and his solo career for a major cultural milestone in the worlds of music and theater.\u201d The Broadway production featured the work of choreographer Annie-B Parson and Alex Timbers serving as production consultant;\u00a0lighting design by Rob Sinclair and sound design by Pete Keppler; Karl Mansfield and Mauro Refosco are musical directors.<\/p>\n<p>Participant, River Road Entertainment and Warner Music Entertainment are executive producing and financing the project. \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with HBO in bringing <em>David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia<\/em> to audiences everywhere,\u201d said\u00a0David Linde, CEO of Participant. \u201cThe creativity and artistry of David Byrne and Spike Lee, together, with the urgency and relevance of this celebratory film, have resulted in an event that is truly of and for our times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/david-byrnes-american-utopia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#\u2018David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia\u2019, Directed by Spike Lee, Headed to HBO&#8221; Later this year, HBO will air the filmed version of David Byrne\u2018s Broadway show\u00a0David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia, directed by none other than Spike Lee.
