'A Night With Janis Joplin' and David Byrne's 'Here Lies Love' Musical Updates

Music lovers and musical lovers, lend us your ears: We've got some updates on several of New York City's pop-music-oriented productions, specifically the Janis Joplin musical A Night With Janis Joplin and David Byrne's conceptual biography of Imelda Marcos, Here Lies Love.

The bad news first: A Night With Janis is without a home. The play will be ending its run at the Lyceum Theater during February, although an official date hasn't been given. The show had been struggling to fill seats, despite offering tickets at discounted rates. The good news is that the show isn't completely sans future. Producers have claimed the show will continue at an Off-Broadway venue beginning in March, but they haven't given any further details.

"We are tremendously proud of this show, and excited about the many people who want to see A Night with Janis Joplin in New York. We are finalizing a wonderful option to move to another venue in New York City," said Michael Cohl, a producer.
