He was a rock star that redefined nearly every generation in which he recorded music, but David Bowie was also a great influence on pop culture. Bowie made two brief appearances on Broadway, first as a replacement in 1980 in The Elephant Man as John Merrick, and again as the composer/lyricist for the short-lived Rock ‘n Roll: The First 5,000 Years. His most recent theatrical endeavor, Lazarus, which he co-wrote with Enda Walsh, is currently playing at New York Theatre Workshop.
