About Lempicka

Be transported through multiple countries, wars, and decades in Lempicka on Broadway, a new pop-rock musical based on the real-life painter Tamara de Lempicka. Eden Espinosa stars as the title painter alongside Tony Award winner Beth Leavel, Amber Iman, and more. Get Lempicka tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

Through original tunes like “Woman Is,” “Perfection,” and “Stay,” the Lempicka musical tells the story of a young woman fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution for Paris with her husband and young child. The story, which spans almost six decades, details how Lempicka goes from a refugee to a highly sought-after Art Deco portraitist in French high society. Through personal and political struggles — including a forbidden romance between Lempicka and one of her models — Lempicka tells the story of a groundbreaking figure who reimagined what women can be.

The Lempicka musical premiered at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2018. A pre-Broadway run at the La Jolla Playhouse followed in 2022, receiving rave reviews. The San Diego Union-Tribune praised the "tender and gorgeous solo songs that define and illuminate the characters.”

Those songs are by Carson Kreitzer and Matt Gould, who also co-wrote the show's book. They make their Broadway debuts with Lempicka in New York. Alongside them is director Rachel Chavkin, known for her Tony Award-winning staging of Hadestown and Tony-nominated production of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.
