The show is based on Byrne’s newest album, also called American Utopia. The musical features some of the Talking Heads’ classic songs, while also showing off some of Byrne’s solo work. Byrne stars in the musical backed by an 11-member band and ensemble that dance, act, and play different instruments.

Byrne and the cast will appear on Saturday Night Live on February 29.

“We’re going to take you on a whole journey that’s not just a bunch of songs and you’re gonna have a party, but actually you’re gonna be at different place emotionally and intellectually or whatever by the end,” Byrne told CBS Sunday Morning.

The musical is also set to be turned into a film directed by Spike Lee, which will reportedly be released in conjunction with the show’s reopening in the fall.
