ADELAIDE, Australia, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and DJ Fatboy Slim have written a stage musical about former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos.
The musical "Here Lies Love" is described as "a timeless story with more contemporary resonances than are comfortable," the BBC reported Sunday.
Bryne came up with the idea to write a musical about the shoe-obsessed Marcos and Fatboy Slim helped him write the music, the BBC said.
"Here Lies Love" is scheduled to debut in March during an annual festival in Adelaide, Australia.
Marcos was found guilty of corruption in the mid-1990s, but her conviction was overturned on appeal and she now lives in the Philippine capital of Manila.
Her huge collection of shoes has become legendary as well as her love of nightclubs.
"She loved the nightlife in all parts of the world, and in New York at Studio 54, so much so that she installed a disco in her NYC townhouse," an Adelaide Festival spokesman said. "It was a non-stop party, featuring politicians, arms dealers, financiers, artists, musicians and the international jet set."
