Brent Lang Executive Editor It’s a dramatic way to sell a new Broadway show. The Longacre Theatre is getting a high art overhaul as the home of “Lempicka,” a new musical about Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka.
The theater will showcase many of the artist’s most famous works as part of a new outdoor exhibition meant to generate excitement for a production that arrives without the commercial benefit of being based on a movie or the song catalogue of a rock legend. Instead of more traditional theatrical front-of-house advertising, hawking pictures of smiling stars or vast chorus lines (along with some strategically edited “rave reviews”), the Longacre’s façade now boasts dramatic and colorful prints of high society denizens or recumbent nude women, that hail from the glory days of the Art Deco movement.
The Longacre’s outdoor exhibition includes works of “Self Portrait (Tamara in a Green Bugatti)” (1929), “Young Girl in Green” (1927), “Nu Adossé” (1925), “The Red Tunic” (1927), “The Blue Scarf” (1930), “The Green Turban” (1930), “Portrait of Marjorie Ferry” (1932), “Portrait of Ira P.” (1930), “Portrait of Romana de la Salle” (1928) and “Adam and Eve” (1932). “Lempicka” stars Eden Espinosa (“Wicked”) and was directed by Rachel Chavkin, who won a Tony for her work on “Hadestown.” The show features book, lyrics, and original concept by Carson Kreitzer, book and music by Matt Gould and choreography by Raja Feather Kelly.
It begins performances next March. “Lempicka” spans decades, following the title character’s personal and professional life as she develops her distinctive style.

On Thursday, ITV released the findings of an external review into This Morning, following the scandal which saw the long-time presenter leave the show amid rumours of a feud with co-host Holly Willoughby and later admitted to having an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a younger colleague. The review has since concluded that ITV made "considerable efforts" to find out the truth about an alleged relationship between Phillip and a runner on This Morning in 2019 but was "unable to uncover the relevant evidence" until Schofield's admission in late May 2023.
