Amen!!! For me as an actor, that's something I want to do more of. New shows from the ground up!!! Powerful. Inspiring. Lifting. This show is inspired by Tamara's life but it's ORIGINAL!!! Shame on everyone for trashing it bad.
So happy to get to experience it for the very first preview. LEMPICKA is truly a celebration of how ART MATTERS. Everyone's going to have their opinions, but I need to take a moment to say how FRANKLY disappointed & heartbroken for all the s***y & toxic comments people were saying about the entire show and did NOT give it a chance. I did see one post on a message board (apparently it was taken down), someone said "Who wants to see a musical about an artistic slutty DYKE?!" Excuse me!!!! I'm straight and my love goes out to everyone in the LGBTQ community. How dare you?!! This show, I learned so much about Tamara De Lempicka thanks to this show. She went through some crazy times but she used art so beautifully as a way to express herself. Shame on all of you for NOT getting a ticket and treating this show like s***!!! You people have NO taste in Theater and great new ART!!!! All you ever want is your CHEAP musicals based on books and movies...... give something new & original a chance!!! Love goes out to the full cast, crew, musicians, and creative team!!!
The comments about how the show was just dismissed really rang true. Not one critic talked about the queerness of the show, I cant help wonder if it was out of fear of getting canceled and/or threatened. Most media is under siege these days. Controlled by people who are concerned about a bottom line, and loosing readership. I wonder if they are purposefully publishing "safe" reviews of what they perceive as incendiary topics?
