Broadway has turned into something commercialised and all about money, rather than stages for stories to be shared. people only care about how much money shows make, but people never give new shows a try so amazing new shows that tell important stories and production and soundtrack and actors close. if there's not a big tv (specifically tv, people don't care about actual BROADWAY legends anymore) name for the media or it's not a revival people don't care. new musicals that tell historical stories that shouldn't be forgotten close after a few months, no matter how amazing the story or score or set or actors are. Broadway isn't about the heart anymore, it's about money and big names. it's barely even for theatre people.
Lempicka is closing and i am devastated for so many reasons. Harmony already closed earlier this year.
Tamara de Lempicka was a famous painter. she was married to a rich man, and originally painted their daughter or landscapes and things like that, but she eventually painted Rafaela -- her girlfriend. she painted her mainly naked and they loved each other. she was a bisexual painter, and more than that a brilliant painter, and she is being forgotten. she was part Jewish, too. she fled to Paris with her husband, which is where she met Rafaela.
there's a musical about her. it's closing on May 19th. it opened officially on Broadway on April 14th. both this year.
The Comedian Harmonists were a band. they were an internationally popular German band between 1928 and 1934. 3 of the 6 of them were Jewish. Nazi Germany started in 1933. you can probably piece together what happened, but i'll tell you anyway. they were separated and erased. they were not forgotten, they were erased. Nazis destroyed almost all of their recordings. the Harmonists never saw each other again. their names were Ari Leschnikoff, Harry Frommermann, Robert Biberti, Roman Cycowski, Erwin "Chopin" Bootz and Erich A. Collin.
there was a musical about them. it closed on February 4th, and opened officially on Broadway on November 13th (2023).
do not let Tamara or the Harmonists go forgotten. listen to Lempicka and Harmony. research the people. find bootlegs of the musicals if you can. learn about them. teach about them. please, don't let people forget about them.
this isn't about the musicals closing, these are about important people being forgotten and erased from history. please, don't let this happen.

In Act 2 of Lempicka when Tamara and Rafaela enter Le Monocle for the first time they look around at all the women together and Rafaela says “a room full of nothing but US” and Tamara says “let’s never leave” and guys I just went to a lesbian bar for the first time (okay it’s actually a deli but they turn it into a lesbian bar at night) and GUYS? That is the safest I have ever felt out drinking and dancing and I felt so natural and I was surrounded by other queer women and that’s. That’s the first actual queer space I’ve been to in YEARS and especially post-pandemic. And I’m feeling such an overwhelming mix of emotions right now because I didn’t realize how isolated I felt from the queer community in my day to day life (ie not online). I just. God.
Dedicated queer spaces are so important. Lesbian bars are so important. This is the only one I’ve been to but I’m VERY aware that these days there are fewer and fewer of them but I just. I didn’t know how badly this kind of place and experience and connection to community was missing from my life until I suddenly had it tonight.
#also within ten minutes of walking in a woman came over to ask me about my Lempicka tattoo#rip lempicka gone too soon#honestly I don’t think I would’ve agreed to go out tonight if it weren’t for the amount of reflection and reckoning I’ve been doing#since seeing lempicka for the second time#I wouldn’t have been so gutted about its closing if it hadn’t made me feel so SEEN and UNDERSTOOD#and the scene at le monocle is like a microcosm of that within the show#with all of the women approaching Tamara about how her art#her paintings of women#make them feel seen#like that is that show and that was this night for me#thinking about how repressed and isolated I really am in my personal life#and how quickly a show like Lempicka gets taken away from us#it really made me think like ‘shit.’#if I don’t find a way to connect and engage with the queer community it is entirely possible that something awful will happen#and I’ll never have the chance to#like I need to just fucking live and find it instead of staying at home and wondering#I am very much an introvert#and I am very much not one for going clubbing#not that this was a club per se#but it’s the kind of thing where every once in awhile I know I need to push myself#I need to make myself go out#because when I do I have moments like this#lempicka#lempicka musical#lempicka broadway#tamara de lempicka

Too late, no one stopped me. Let's dig into this, shall we?
In Shubert Alley, Lempicka has a big poster advertisement along the wall with all the other Broadway shows currently running. The bold-print, fancy New York Times review pull-quote read as follows:
"A STIRRING, EPIC BLOCKBUSTER MUSICAL."
Now, that struck me as a little suspect because I couldn't recall Jesse Green of the Times saying any such thing. Lo and behold, I did a quick search, and then a deeper search, and then a full internet scour, and those words have never appeared together to describe this musical. Some of those words do, however, appear as separate words in the Times review for the WILLIAMSTOWN production from 2018, which is, by now, a vastly different show (see below). And some of those words were not used to describe Lempicka at all.
Once upon a time, marketing teams had to get approval from papers to ensure their pull-quotes were accurate. This is...not only just a quote with the context chopped up. It's a ransom note magazine cutout. None of those words (except, y'know, "A" and "musical") appeared in the Broadway review of this show.
Furthermore, earlier today, this graphic went live on Lempicka's socials:
We've already discussed how (now an entirely new quote from the one used before) the Brantley quote isn't accurate. It's even more egregious now because it includes the reviewer's name, which I feel like might be against some kind of regulation somewhere(?) it's been several years since I studied libel law. But let's go to the Jesse Green quote. "An overeager blur," is not a string of three words that ever appears in Green's review.
So. What are we doing here? Why are we making up a negative quote when there were so many actual quotes to choose from? I mean, darlings, there were disparaging remarks so frequent it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel.
In trying to make a (not untrue) statement, the marketing team instead feels as if it's catering to the fast-paced "gotcha" tone of the internet. But a snappy comeback at a middle-grade level doesn't hold water if it's so easily disproven. Who is running this team? I just wanna talk.
#lempicka#lempicka broadway#and like...okay so in the instagram comments it's all the stans being like 'iconic' and snapping their fingers like this is some zinger#and one of the people doing that is an actual professional in the industry who now has her own startup marketing company#excuse me??? honey you have to know these quotes are not real and yet you're going along with it for what?#not even misrepresenting this is just straight-up lying

I just listened to the whole Lempicka OBC album. It was stunning. The style is really something I've never heard before. And of course, this musical is probably the most Lesbian-est musical I've ever heard, even gayer than the prom, fun home, and other lesbian broadway shows.
And they're closing them on Broadway?????
JAIL.
Gayest song ever⬇️🏳🌈
Edit: WAIT IT HAS CLOSED????? MY GOODNESS 😭
