David Bowie’s musical gets VR treatment

David Bowie’s Lazarus musical had a very short run in both New York and London. Now, if you find yourself in London at the end of the month, you’ll get to experience the show albeit in virtual reality. Lazarus will be part of the V&A Museum’s “From VHS to VR” exhibit in London. It’ll be part of the museum’s Performance Festival happening on April 30^th. The VR experience will place you right into the recording of Lazarus during its King’s Cross Theatre run. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the Lazarus VR experience will extend beyond that. But who knows? We’re keeping our fingers crossed.
