Patti LuPone, the two-time Tony Award-winning actress, is back on Broadway opposite Christine Ebersole in the original musical War Paint, about two cosmetics entrepreneurs, Helena Rubinstein (LuPone) and Elizabeth Arden (Ebersole). Following a sold-out run in Chicago, the show is making its Broadway debut at the Nederlander Theatre, with previews beginning March 7 and opening on April 6.
Inspired by the book of the same name written by Lindy Woodhead and the documentary The Powder & the Glory, War Paint tells the story of these two masterful women who, on their way to the top, found themselves locked in a fierce 50-year tug-of-war over the cosmetics industry and beyond. “It’s poignant, it’s funny, it’s dramatic. It’s the lives of these women, which were complicated,” LuPone tells Et by phone.

Goodman Theatre announces it will produce the world premiere of War Paint, a new musical that charts the ascent and arch-rivalry of cosmetics entrepreneurs Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden. Patti LuPone, who generates more raw excitement than any other performer on Broadway The New York Times, and Christine Ebersole, a first-class, revitalizing master of period style The New York Times, respectively star as Rubinstein and Arden, the brilliant innovators with humble roots who shrewdly navigated the 1930s male-dominated business world to forever change the business of beauty. Directed by Michael Greif Rent, Next to Normal, IfThen, Grey Gardens, War Paint reunites Scott Frankel and Michael Korie-the acclaimed composer and lyricist team of Grey Gardens and Far From Heaven-with Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright Grey Gardens, I Am My Own Wife, The Little Mermaid.
