Great staging, great singing, great story

See it if I just loved the whole show. The staging was so spot on and it echoed her artwork. If you love the art deco period. Terrific performances.

Don't see it if You want a fairytale story. You are not interested in the period from WW1- WW2 and the rise of fascism in Europe.

Riveting, Relevant, Must see, Great staging, Great singing

See it if Wow! Very emotional and beautiful story of an amazing artist. The music, singers, dancers, costumes, set, were amazing. I felt captivated .

Don't see it if It's a musical, with gay themes, a war story.

The bravest & most intelligent musical on broadway

See it if You'd like to see musical theatre take a large leap forward into showing the history of the century through the eyes of an out artist.

Don't see it if You have a very closed mind. This was the most intelligent depiction of a relationship in a musical and it was riveting.

Beautiful, Sexy, Magnificent, Original, Absorbing

See it if The reviews and amount of Tony recognition surrounding this production ARE NOT REFLECTIVE OF LEMPICKA. This show is absolutely exquisite……

Don't see it if There is no reason not to see this show- if you’re choosing whether or not to see it based on reviews and publicity, you are at a major loss Read more
