LEMPICKA Announces Broadway Closing Date

BrodwayWorld has learned that Lempicka Will Close on Broadway May 19th. The production has struggled to find an audience and has had grosses well below those needed to sustain a Broadway musical of its size.

In a statement, the producers said, “We are so proud of our production, and the family
of artists and artisans who’ve shaped it. Few knew better than Tamara de Lempicka
that art isn’t easy, but always worth the effort.”

Lempicka received Tony Award nominations for Eden Espinosa and Amber Iman (as well as scenic design for Riccardo Hernández and Peter Nigrini) but not the top prize of Best Musical.
