Very curious about this version. I still consider Matt Gould's phenomenal rendition to be the absolute best. I can hardly wait for this musical to finally arrive to Broadway!

DAMN. That is one STUNNING music video. I can't wait to see this one.

Agreed! I saw this in both Williamstown (2018) and La Jolla (2022), and find the score to be exhilarating, beautiful, unique, dramatic, modern, emotional, dynamic. Not to mention, huge changes were made between those two productions, so I am very excited to see what kind of changes have been made since La Jolla. I love the whole show, but the score is the star for me. Really hoping that Lempicka can distinguish itself from the pack in this crowded season and at least bring home Best Score.

Listening to the three songs, my only thought was that this is the coolest and most unique thing I've heard in a long time. I'm definitely rooting for it for Best Score. But, I think even moreso, I'm rooting for it for Best Orchestrations. The orchestrations are awesome and contribute so much to what gives it such a unique sound!

If they are smart they will release more videos like this of the songs to build buzz & get people interested.

There is a lot of great singing of songs people already know in Hell's Kitchen so all the new shows will have an uphill battle competing against it. The book in Hell's Kitchen is its biggest weakness, so if this is a more engaging story they'll have a chance.

But if this sing is just onr moment - like Let in Burn in Paradise Square, a flashy song in a crap show - it won't do much.

The old marketing idea was to keep spoilers under wraps & let people discover when they come see a show. No one has time for that today. No one wants to waste money on something when they are unsure if they will like it - that's why they go see Lion King again & again.

Put it all out there. If people know it will be fantastic from start to finish they'll buy tickets no matter the cost. It would be so much better for a new show's survival if they could open from a place of strength. This doesn't have a star cast to sell it like Sweeney or Merrily. If the score is the star, let people hear as much as possible as soon as possible.

Whew... now I need a cold shower

Mariand Torres and Ximone Rose (Rose took over the Rafaela role from Amber Iman for the extension after the latter left to do Goddess at Berkeley Rep)

I’ve been thinking, what’s Aléna Watters up to these days? I’d love to hear her “Woman Is,” and she was Eden’s understudy in the pre-Broadway tryout ofBrooklyn.

Who were the Lempicka understudies at LJP?"

Cast announcement coming soon:

Eden and the rest of the cast will be performing at an event at Sotheby's next Wednesday the 17th.

8x a week for Eden and that's the Act 1 closer! - Women Is!

Eden will likely have a standby or alternate.

Will Mariand Torres continue with Hell's Kitchen or with this? I also don't think the Baroness will be the same from La Jolla.

She played 1/2 of Shoshana Bean/Jersey's best friend duo, and I wouldn't consider any character in the show "nerdy."

I was thinking about the two friends of Ali's. One was sort of more maybe goofy?
