With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, Off-Broadway and beyond.
“Here Lies Love”
Catch it before the lights go dark in the club. The disco-inspired musical “Here Lies Love” about the former first lady of the Philippine, Imelda Marcos, will close on Sunday at The Broadway Theatre. The immersive show features a score by Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award-winner David Byrne and Grammy-Award winner Fatboy Slim.
“Amid Falling Walls”
Switching to the Off-Broadway scene, don’t miss “Amid Falling Walls” a new musical being presented by The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene. The world premiere celebrates the resilience and hope of the Jewish spirit during the time of the Holocaust. “Amid Falling Walls” is playing at The Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park City.
