Composer Matt Gould talks about his new musical Lempicka, which opens on Sunday, April 14th.
ABOUT LEMPICKA:
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.
