    "She [Imelda] and her husband stole billions of pesos[13][14] from the Filipino people,[15][16][17] amassing a personal fortune estimated to have been worth US$5 billion to US$10 billion by the time they were deposed in 1986"
    from her Wikipedia article
    Did Mr Byrne cover this aspect in his play? I hope so!
    EDIT: According to someone who saw the play, yes he did cover that aspect. (See reply)

      Spoilers: The show portrays the glamor of Imelda's life but then it makes a major shift and wake-up call. During "Order 1081," the words "3,200 killed; 34,000 tortured; and over 70,000 imprisoned" are projected all over the wall.
      The show also ends with the People Power Revolution marching and celebrating the end of the dictatorship, but it also drops a warning that her son is now President of the Philippines.

      @@luckyleprechaun-mq9in Much as we all would love to be able to jet over to NYC, and catch a glitzy Broadway show; not all Americans are able to so blithely indulge in such swanky diversions.

      So, the rest of us had to settle for listening to the actual description of the show from its creator; who conspicuously omitted your desperate recitation of belated excuses & rationales.

      And, special congratulations for, so predictably, falling back on such self-congratulatory pseudo-woke Idenitarian commendation, for your extra special virtue-signaling.
      It seems that it might be difficult for you to NOT sound like a painfully clueless bourgeois tool, smugly spewing out shallow talking points, as though they were somehow revelatory; but for those of us who lived through that period, and were, in our own small way, working to help Corazon Aquino’s efforts to rebuild a devastated nation; your self-satisfied condescension is more than a bit laughable.

      Mr. Mahatir was called Mr. 10 % in Malaysia, because he was rumored to earn 10 % on all business that happened. He broke his opponents financially. Or he put them into prison with pretense claims, such as practicing sodomy. He still is a respected person in the eyes of many.
      Although she holds the title for facilitating the biggest theft in any government function in the world, Imelda Marcos is back in power. Imelda was a governor until 2019. The son Bongbong is the current president of the Philippines.
      It is a mystery how people manage to forget so fast. How could you help these people, what is the use of you speaking up for the Philippines? They do elect these thieves.
      If you have a powerful position, you make use of it to extract as much from the country as you can. While in the rest of the world it does happen, unfortunately, in Asia it is seen as the norm. Until today that is actually the way politics are done here in Asia. May be not as open as before.

    Considering the Marcoses are back in power in the Philippines, with Imelda having long desired to clean up their image, her son now president, having a play now that can make people empathize with Imelda the way David Byrne did, the timing seems…. strange. As someone in the Philippines working to help the world and younger generations ot forget martial law or the human rights violations the Marcoses never admitted or showed remorse for, a play that could glamorize her and her family, make her seem like an “Evita” with millions in marketing and production budget feels discouraging to me and downright offensive to those who suffered under their regime. It feels like having a Trump musical that only lightly touches on Jan 6 but focuses more on his The Apprentice days.

Im not even a big fan but i know that David took genuine interest in telling this story through his music.

    Podcasting suits Conan well. I was hugely disappointed years ago when NBC booted him from The Tonight Show and he ended up having to make do with a show on cable. But in this format, free of TV's demands, he can work that slippery balance between serious and silly.
    And David Byrne? At this stage of his life, he's a neurodivergent (autism spectrum) who's gotten the hang of this "normal" thing.
