About that David Bowie play…

Looks like they had a preview of the musical Lazarus and Chris O’Leary for Slate offers his take on it:

There’s A Showman, Waiting in the Sky

Sounds interesting.  I have to agree with Mr. O’Leary that much of David Bowie’s oeuvre does hint at his desire to have a musical, from his earliest works to his many theatrical transformations.  Now, heading into the twilight of his career, it would appear he finally has his musical show and, at least based on this review, it appears to be a culmination of all things Bowie and set on stage.

Is that a good thing?

I wonder.  I also wonder if I’ll get a chance to see it…
