I saw this poster in a store window today:

Changes: A Science-Fiction Tap Opera featuring the music of David Bowie

according to the press release:
The story of Changes is grounded in science fiction, with the starting point being Bowie’s seminal work Ground Control to Major Tom. From there the story moves to an alien planet ruled by an egotistical leader who forces the populace to work for his own glorification. Unlike some dance works, which count on the audience to apply their own meaning to what can seem quite abstract at times, Chicago Tap Theater strives to present fairly clear narratives while still leaving some room for the audience to interpret.
