"Lempicka: A Theatrical Tribute to the Life and Art of Tamara de Lempicka"

"Lempicka" on Broadway tells the story of artist Tamara de Lempicka, a renowned Art Deco painter known for her sensuous female nudes and active women, as well as her bisexual extramarital affairs. The musical explores the fleeting nature of artistic taste and the impact of major historical events on cultural change. While the historical and political aspects are weak points, the exceptional performances, particularly by lead actress Eden Espinosa, make up for it. The musical, directed by Rachel Chavkin, is a compelling and original piece of art that encourages audiences to pursue their passions, love fiercely, demand change, and keep making art, ultimately shining a spotlight on Lempicka's legacy as a great queer female artist.
