Though David Byrne says goodbye to Broadway’s Hudson Theatre February 16, it turns out like it’s more of a “see you soon” as his narrative concert American Utopia will return to the Hudson September 18, 2020, through January 17, 2021, with an opening date to be announced.
Tickets for the return engagement are on sale now.
This initial run opened October 20, 2019, and ran for 121 regular performances. It recouped its initial $4M investment in mid-December 2019, just ten weeks after opening.
