David Byrne
Matthew Murphy

David Byrne's American Utopia is a theatrical event on Broadway. Theater Critic Michael Bourne came away happily "burned down with the house".

The show was created with choreographer Annie-B Parson and production consultant Alex Timbers.

David Bryne's American Utopia is playing at the Hudson Theatre on West 44th Street.

Michael Bourne, who died on August 21, 2022, was a presence on the air at WBGO between the end of 1984 and the start of 2022 when he retired from full-time hosting duty. He is the host of the Singers Unlimited Podcast by WBGO Studios. Previously, he hosted the popular Singers Unlimited (1985-2022). He also hosted the equally popular Blues Break for several years. Michael is a senior contributor to Down Beat, with the magazine since 1969. Doctor Bourne earned a PhD in Theatre from Indiana University -- which comes in handy when he's a theatre critic for the WBGO Journal.
