David Byrne is famous for his musical album Broadway. He then did a show on the same name. Between October 2019 and February 2020, he and his 11 musician friends performed many songs from his original album. The show received amazing reviews. Soon the viewership sparked high. And the show even broke many records in audience numbers. Such a successful show is coming back to HBO and that’s amazing.

Byrne says that he is a huge fan of director Spike Lee. He adds, “Spike and I have crossed paths many times over the years, obviously I’m a huge fan and now finally here was an opportunity for us to work together. I am thrilled with the result. The Broadway show was a wonderful challenge as well as an opportunity — it was a joy to perform and, well, best to let the quotes speak for themselves. Thrilled that this show and the subjects it addresses will now reach a wider audience.”
