American Utopia

Suzie Explores

Suzie Explores is a podcast series focussing on the nature of creativity and curiosity. Bringing her unique perspective of the world of music and beyond, Suzie joins forces with a host of luminaries in the creative field to explore what it means to be an inspired human being in this world.
American Utopia is a show which toured many cities of the world, before becoming a sell-out Broadway hit. It is the creation of the incredible, ever-evolving, ever-creative David Byrne and features many of his best-loved songs performed by 12 musicians, singers, and dancers live on stage using no pre-recorded tracks. His wish was to represent hope and possibility on stage….and this he does, in the most abundant of ways.
This podcast was recorded 6 months after the Broadway run finished and explores how life has evolved since the show ended. We discuss connectivity, mistakes, grief, surviving on tour, and feeding the creative imagination.
It was hard to coordinate everyone to be in the same place at the same time, but we did manage to have Jacquelene, Bobby, Mauro, Danny, Tim and Stephane in the same room, and Tendaye joined us by the magic of Zoom.
