CONTACT: Denise Schneider/Kiana Harris/Ramsey Carey FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 312.443.5151 or [email protected] November 12, 2015 IMAGERY: PressRoom.GoodmanTheatre.org TWO-TIME TONY AWARD WINNERS PATTI LUPONE AND CHRISTINE EBERSOLE STAR IN WAR PAINT, A NEW MUSICAL ABOUT TWO BUSINESS TITANS—AND THEIR INFAMOUS RIVALRY—AT GOODMAN THEATRE, STARTING JUNE 28, 2016 ***WAR PAINT IS A WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION FROM THE CREATORS OF GREY GARDENS: MUSIC BY SCOTT FRANKEL, LYRICS BY MICHAEL KORIE, BOOK BY DOUG WRIGHT, DIRECTED BY MICHAEL GREIF*** (Chicago, IL) They were the brand name on every woman’s lips. 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, If/Then, 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). The musical is inspired by the book, War Paint, by Lindy Woodhead and the documentary film, The Powder & the Glory, by Ann Carol Grossman and Arnie Reisman. -

After Covid-Reboot, the Umbrella Announces Revised 2020-2021
THE UMBRELLA ANNOUNCES FRESH, AND FORESHORTENED, 2021 SEASON For Covid Reboot, a Short Season of Diverse, Relevant Titles July 13, 2020 Concord, MA— The Umbrella Stage Company has announced a revised roster of shows planned for its 2020-2021 season, as it retools its newly built theaters at 40 Stow Street to follow public health protocols. With all in-person performances delayed until after the new year, the Company's shortened four-show season comprises four impactful titles. • The Revolutionists - January 15 - 31, 2021 • War Paint - February 26 - March 21, 2021 • Detroit '67 - April 2-25, 2021 • Head Over Heels - May 14 - June 6, 2021 The Umbrella Stage Company had previously announced a different, six-show lineup, but as the closure continues, and the extensive requirements for reopening become clearer, the company has decided to re-prioritize and re-strategize. In addition to the previously announced French revolution-themed comedy, The Revolutionists, and the dazzling musical War Paint, about pioneering entrepreneurs Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, are two exciting new titles. Set against explosive Detroit riots of 1967, Dominique Morisseau's Detroit '67 has striking relevance for today's audiences. It will be directed by Michelle Aguillon. And wrapping up the season, under the direction of Brian Boruta, is the Boston premiere of Head Over Heels, a hilariously uplifting celebration of love set to the iconic music of 80s smash group, The Go-Gos! The Umbrella Stage Company has announced it also intends to backfill the fall portion of the season with additional streaming and smaller venue or outdoor programming that can be presented with safe social distancing. -

Two Legends – One Musical
TWO LEGENDS – ONE MUSICAL Two time Tony Award® winners Patti LuPone (Evita, Gypsy) and Christine Ebersole (42nd Street, Grey Gardens) star as Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, respectively, trendsetters in the beauty industry a century ago. Along with Tony nominees John Dossett (Gypsy, Newsies) and Douglas Sills (The Scarlet Pimpernel), the stars reprise their roles following their sold-out engagement in Chicago. WAR PAINT tells the amazing story of these two cosmetics pioneers, both of whom were self-inventors who became the country’s first major female entrepreneurs. They were also brutal competitors, whose lengthy “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.” Inspired by the book, War Paint, by Lindy Woodhead, and the documentary film, The Powder & the Glory, the musical is directed by Tony nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Grey Gardens) and choreographed by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli (The King and I, Newsies). It reunites Scott Frankel and Michael Korie, the composer and lyricist team of Grey Gardens, with Tony Award® and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright (Grey Gardens, I Am My Own Wife).
