Book, Lyrics & Original Concept by Carson Kreitzer

Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly

Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka is a celebrity icon of modernity, famed both for her stunning portraits of jazz era society and for her unapologetic, daring lifestyle. Fleeing political upheaval in St. Petersburg to the glamour of 1920s Paris, Tamara uses her raw talent and relentless ambition to claw her way from penniless refugee to in-demand portraitist. Her world is upended when she meets Rafaela, a free spirit from the city slums, who introduces Tamara to a new world of decadence and passion. Torn between her new muse and her husband, and fighting to leave her mark on an ever-changing world, Tamara must discover the depths of her own strength to survive.
Madonna and Barbra Streisand are counted among her fervent collectors - now, the Broadway-bound musical Lempicka explores Tamara’s remarkable life with a powerhouse cast, sumptuous staging and a thrilling pop-infused score. Get your ticket today for this breath-taking musical about a woman ahead of her era - and an artist whose time has finally come.

I love this speaker. Love her accent and the passion she had.
I thought this was going to be a panel with the cast speaking but I was sucked in immediately. Such a well-studied and wonderful speaker! I wonder if she ever got to see the show, either in La Jolla or on Broadway.
GREAT speaker
I just watched the show today and had never heard of this brilliant artist (like so many women in history). Thank you for sharing this talk! The fusion of cubism and baroque beauty is astounding. An absolute new favorite artist of mine now. Incredible performance, amazing cast! I think Lempicka would be pleased. Cheers! 🥂
Incredible story. How wonderful the speaker is!
amazing speaker
cool video, btw the correct way to pronounce Tamara's last name is [lempitzka] not [lempicka]:)
This musical is incredibly written and beautiful yet pronounces their main artist name so incorrectly - her surname is polish, it's Łempicka so pronounced in English as "Wem-pitzka", not "Lem-pika". I hope this is something that gets fixed once the show moves to Broadway.
I have a St Moritz I believe water colour , slightly different than the original . It is done on cardboard with 2 stamps on the back. They are very hard to make out. One is round with some kind of logo for lack of a better word and the othe is a 4x2 inch stamp with 6 lines of printing I cannot even make out the language. The frame is wood with old small nails, Looks like it might have been covered with paper on the back at one time. Any ideas?
