War Paint

Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole star in War Paint, the remarkable story of two titans of the cosmetics business, Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden—trailblazers who defined beauty standards throughout the first half of the 20th century. Brilliant innovators with humble roots, the women were masters of self-invention who sacrificed everything to become two of America’s most renowned female entrepreneurs. Directed by Michael Greif (Rent), the new musical follows their lives as the notorious rivals attempt to outshine each other in their battle to be on top.
