A musical of the Marcos era in the Philippines. High in energy, if you had a standing ticket for the arena of the Dorfman you were very much part of the action. This seemed a much better place to be than upstairs watching the goings on.
Frankly, this all seemed more like a bit of fun than anything else. The music was by David Byrne in collaboration with Fatboy Slim and the story line - key moments in the lives of the Marcoses - was projected at either end of the room.
I can't say it made me think or gave me a new understanding of Philippines politics. However, to be fair, it did convey very strongly the neediness of Imelda - where she was coming from psychologically.
