Broadway Musical 'Lempicka' to Close on May 19 After Tony Snub

Despite receiving three Tony nominations, 'Lempicka' failed to secure a nod for Best Musical, leading to its closure just one month after opening.

'Lempicka', directed by Rachel Chavkin, will end its Broadway run due to poor box office performance and mixed reviews.
The musical, depicting the life of artist Tamara de Lempicka, opened on April 14 and struggled with only 71% seat occupancy last week.
Eden Espinosa and Amber Iman received Tony nominations for their roles, but the show's lack of a Best Musical nomination was a critical blow.
The production, costing $19.5 million, faced a highly competitive Broadway season with numerous openings in April.
Producers expressed pride in their team, emphasizing the challenges and value of creating art.
