Lempicka is officially open on Broadway and there was a Wicked reunion on opening night!

Eden Espinosa received support from fellow Wicked alum Shoshana Bean at the opening night performance of her new musical on Sunday (April 14) at the Longacre Theatre in New York City.

For those who don’t know, Eden and Shoshana both got their big breaks as the standby for Elphaba during Idina Menzel‘s run in Wicked on Broadway. Both of them later became full-time Elphaba stars and had long runs in the beloved musical.

Eden is now leading the ambitious new show Lempicka, one of the only fully original musicals of the season. She was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Amber Iman, Beth Leavel, Andrew Samonsky, George Abud, Natalie Joy Johnson, Nathaniel Stampley, and Zoe Glick.

Also in attendance was Andrew‘s wife Kate Reinders, best known for starring in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. (Make sure to read our 10 Fun Facts post about Andrew!)

Spanning decades of political and personal turmoil and told through a thrilling, pop-infused score, Lempicka boldly explores the contradictions of a world in crisis, a woman ahead of her era, and an artist whose time has finally come. Directed by Rachel Chavkin and produced by Jenny Niederhoffer, the musical features a new score by Carson Kreitzer and Matt Gould.

Broadway Salaries Revealed... And Actors Don't Always Earn the Most Money!

Have you ever wondered how much money Broadway actors make?

People who pursue theater careers make only a fraction of the amount that people who work in film and television usually make, especially when it comes to the actors.

While many celebrities will make millions of dollars for a project, they are often making just thousands of dollars for Broadway shows. One thing to note is that theater actors don’t have great job security unless they are working on a hit show. Many shows have limited runs and other shows often close early.

Actors don’t always earn top dollar when it comes to people working on a Broadway show. The stage managers and and conductors can often earn more!

'The Outsiders' Musical Debuts Stunning Production Photos, Broadway Show Produced by Angelina Jolie

The Broadway musical The Outsiders will celebrate its official opening night this week and the production has released a stunning set of photos.

The musical is adapted from S.E. Hinton‘s seminal book and Francis Ford Coppola‘s iconic movie. The story is set in 1967 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and follows Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family of “outsiders” as they battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs.

Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt joined the producing team after they fell in love with the musical during its pre-Broadway run in La Jolla, California last year.

Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives,” Angelina told People. “She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”

Get to Know Broadway's 'Lempicka' Actor Andrew Samonsky with These 10 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)

The new Broadway musical Lempicka is one of the most-anticipated shows of the season and we’re catching up with Andrew Samonsky, one of the lead actors.

Lempicka is sweeping musical portrait of artist Tamara de Lempicka, a woman who changed art and culture forever. Spanning decades of political and personal turmoil and told through a thrilling, pop-infused score, the show boldly explores the contradictions of a world in crisis, a woman ahead of her era, and an artist whose time has finally come.

Andrew stars as Lempicka’s husband, Tadeusz, a role he created in the original production. He’s previously been seen on Broadway in South Pacific, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and Scandalous.

Get to know Andrew with these exclusive 10 Fun Facts:

  1. I am an only child. When asked if I ever wanted a brother or sister, I said, “No, I’m fine.”
  2. I’m allergic to shellfish. I found out when I ate shrimp at Benihana when I was 10 and my eyes swelled shut. But the shrimp was delicious. My first and last bite. Sad face.
  3. In high school I sang in a punk rock bank called “Skinny Rodgers.” I couldn’t tell you why that name. Ha! But… We once opened for Sublime. I had long hair and got in the mosh pit every now and then. Oh to be young.
  4. I’ve been with the Broadway show Lempicka since its first production at Williamstown in 2018. It’s the longest I’ve ever been attached to a show.
  5. I’ve been living in Salt Lake City the last four years where my amazing, hilarious wife, Kate Reinders, was shooting High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as the drama teacher icon, Miss Jenn. We kind of love it there. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. And the people are so nice.
