See Eden Espinosa perform "Unseen" in Lempicka on Broadway, now playing the Longacre Theatre. Matt Gould and Carson Kreitzer's new biomusical following the life of the titular artist and exiled aristocrat officially opened April 14. Watch the video above.
Eden Espinosa stars as Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka, a young aristocrat-turned-artist who flees with her husband from the turmoil of the Russian Revolution for exile in Paris. Once there, Tamara meets her new muse, Rafaela, and claws her way to success. The book, lyrics, and original concept are by Kreitzer, with Gould co-writing the book and penning the music.
