David Byrne’s Broadway show American Utopia returned last month at the St. James Theatre in New York City, and last night, Byrne and the cast returned to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. After Byrne discussed the show, showed off some of his pandemic drawings, and taught Colbert some dance moves, the cast performed Talking Heads’ “I Zimbra.” Watch it happen below.
Byrne and the American Utopia cast previously performed on the show in 2018 with an assist from Colbert. On last night’s episode, Byrne said the previous Colbert appearance caught the attention of Broadway producers, which prompted the then-touring production’s longterm move to New York City.
