Right, really nailing the archetypes there! Eventually, I found myself tuning out and just concentrating on the music. Newton is, as writer Enda Walsh has put it, “going insane”.
[7], Bowie's last public appearance was at the 7 December 2015 opening night of the production.

Inspired by Bowie's starring role in the … all-bets-are-off atmosphere of this play, there’s something jarring about a female character singing the opening lines of Life on Mars?, apparently in reference to herself, when she visibly doesn’t have mousy hair. Unmasking The Pyramid Kings. Lazarus, the new musical featuring the songs of David Bowie, has opened to mixed reviews in New York. Unfathomably, in a show about a fallen star, there is no Rock’n’Roll Suicide, one of many strange omissions.

Jan Versweyveld’s set is clever, with Thomas’s boredom with the world reflected in his long beige bedroom, the most boringly earthbound room that ever existed.

[17], Lazarus features a number of songs from Bowie's back catalogue as well as three new tracks ("No Plan", "Killing a Little Time", "When I Met You").
