The new musical Lempicka, about Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka, will arrive at the Longacre Theatre in 2024, with previews scheduled to begin on March 19 ahead of an opening night set for April 14.

Eden Espinosa, a stage veteran who originated the musical’s title role in out-of-town stagings with Williamstown Theatre Festival and the La Jolla Playhouse, will headline the Broadway production.

Helmed by Tony-winning director Rachel Chavkin (“Hadestown”) and created by co-book writers Matt Gould and Carson Kreitzer (the latter of whom devised the musical’s original concept), “Lempicka” charts the painter’s journey through decades of political and personal turmoil, told via a pop-infused score (with music by Gould and lyrics by Kreitzer).
