Peter’s Brainteaser:
The title of a Tony-winning musical’s final song starts with a word that’s also the first word of a famous international chain.
The second word of the chain’s name is the first word used to describe the type of song I’m talking about.
What’s the chain?
What’s the song?
What’s the musical?
Michael’s Musical Moments
LEMPICKA | “Unseen”
She painted what a woman could be… Watch Eden Espinosa perform “Unseen” in LEMPICKA on Broadway.
One of the world’s greatest artists deserves the world’s biggest stage: LEMPICKA comes to Broadway on March 19, 2024, following critically acclaimed, sold-out runs at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and the La Jolla Playhouse.
From the Tony Award®-winning director of HADESTOWN and starring Eden Espinosa, this New York Times Critic’s Pick is a sweeping musical portrait of a woman who changed art and culture forever.
Spanning decades of political and personal turmoil and told through a thrilling, pop-infused score, LEMPICKA boldly explores the contradictions of a world in crisis, a woman ahead of her era, and an artist whose time has finally come.
“Eden Espinosa has finally found a part to match her high-voltage talent in this rousing, surprising, intricately shaded portrait of a conquering heroine.” The New York Times
“A singular boldness pulses through LEMPICKA, a musical that’s as ambitious and complex as the painter it frames onstage.” The Los Angeles Times
