WEDNESDAY AT 7:30PM

AT THE INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM

Waterwell (Arian Moayed & Tom Ridgely, Artistic Directors) is thrilled to announced that the sold-out production Blueprint Specials has added a new block of tickets for its final two performances: Tonight, Monday, January 9^th at 7:00PM and Wednesday, January 11^th at 7:30PM at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, at West 46^th Street and 12^th Avenue).

In the summer of 1944, engulfed by a war spread across three continents, the US Army made a foray into some unlikely territory: producing Broadway-style musicals. Created by a who’s who of 20th-century American entertainers, including composer Frank Loesser and choreographer José Limón, these remarkable artifacts were designed for soldiers to put on in the field as a way to boost morale. Now, Waterwell is excavating and reviving them as a collaboration between civilian artists and veterans. Tuneful, subversive, and disarmingly witty, the Blueprint Specials offer a fresh and surprising look at the intersection of conflict and culture.

A Tuesday- Mini Scoop - Sold Out Upcoming Musical War Paint Times Talk to Be Livestreamed Tonight!

“WAR PAINT TIMES TALK”

FEATURING TWO-TIME TONY AWARD WINNERS

PATTI LUPONE AND CHRISTINE EBERSOLE 

LIVESTREAMED TONIGHT

Two-time Tony Award winners PATTI LuPONE and CHRISTINE EBERSOLE, returning to Broadway this spring in the acclaimed new musical WAR PAINT, will be featured guests at this evening’s New York Times “War Paint Times Talk,” hosted at the Times Center. They will be joined by Tony-nominated composer SCOTT FRANKEL.  The sold-out event will be streamed live from 7:00 – 8:30 PM EST at www.TimesTalks.com and www.Facebook.com/NYTimes. Alexandra Jacobs will moderate.

WAR PAINT begins previews March 7, 2017 and opens April 6, 2017 at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41^st Street).  The musical played a sold-out run in Chicago this summer where it became the most successful show in Goodman Theatre’s history.  WAR PAINT charts the legendary lives of two trailblazing women – cosmetics entrepreneurs Helena Rubinstein (LuPone) and Elizabeth Arden (Ebersole).  

WAR PAINT will also feature Tony Award nominees JOHN DOSSETT and DOUGLAS SILLS, who are reprising their roles from the Chicago world premiere production. Dossett will portray Tommy Lewis, Miss Arden’s husband and chief marketing officer, and Sills will portray the ambitious Harry Fleming, Madame Rubinstein’s clubby confidante and faithful ally.  

WAR PAINT tells the remarkable story of cosmetics titans Helena Rubinstein (LuPone) and Elizabeth Arden (Ebersole), who defined beauty standards for the first half of the 20^th Century. Brilliant innovators with humble roots, both women were masters of self-invention who sacrificed everything to become the country’s first major female entrepreneurs. They were also fierce competitors, whose 50-year tug-of-war would give birth to an industry that would forever change the face of America. From Fifth Avenue society to the halls of Congress, their intense rivalry was ruthless, relentless and legendary—pushing both women to build international empires in a world dominated by men.

TICKETS:

Tickets range from $79 - $169. Premium tickets range from $199-$250. For more information, visit www.warpaintmusical.com or call 877.250.2929.
