AMERICA UTOPIA (The Curtain!) | David Byrne’s Newsletter Dec 1 2024

When we were creating American Utopia for Broadway, Alex Timbers reminded me that the show begins before the curtain goes up. In fact, the curtain is part of the show, and the producers said we could do our own curtain. I said I know the perfect person to do this! Maira Kalman and her family used to live across the street, and even though we hadn't worked together in years... I realized she has the perfect sensibility for this! So, I reached out. People asked "are those real places?" Yes, they are, America is weird and real in the best way - It's a lovely idea to share it with more people. Enjoy. -David Byrne all pieces come w/ a card of authenticity numbered + signed by Maira + David   More Info Here
