'Stereophonic,' Adjmi's Hit Transfers to Broadway

In its transfer to Broadway, 'Stereophonic' remains a hit and must-see.

The cast of Stereophonic (Julieta Cervantes) When Stereophonic opened at Playwright’s Horizons in the fall of 2023, the hybrid comedy/drama/musical was extended a number of times for a multitude of reasons.

'Lempicka,' The Art of Survival With a Paintbrush

Starring Eden Espinosa in a bravura performance, 'Lempicka,' directed by Rachel Chavkin should not be missed. Ignore the snarky male critics and treat yourself.

Eden Espinosa in Lempicka (Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman) Loosely inspired by tumultuous events in the life of Tamara de Lempicka, which gave rise to her provocative oil paintings of high society portraits and nudes in an Art Deco style, the musical Lempicka magnifies the theme of femininity unbound.
