Something's Coming: War Paint

This is a new post series which has to do with upcoming Broadway shows (Or just any show in general) that I would love to see or am going to see. I'll just attach a quick synopsis (Copied from Wikipedia) why I am excited for the show and a few promo shots. Here we go.

Synopsis: War Paint tells the remarkable story of cosmetics titans Helena Rubinstein (Patti LuPone) and Elizabeth Arden (Christine Ebersole), who defined beauty standards for the first half of the 20th Century. Brilliant innovators with humble roots, both women were masters of self-invention who sacrificed everything to become the country’s first major female entrepreneurs. They were also fierce competitors, whose 50-year tug-of-war would give birth to an industry that would forever change the face of America. From Fifth Avenue society to the halls of Congress, their intense rivalry was ruthless, relentless and legendary—pushing both women to build international empires in a world dominated by men.

Why I'm Excited: I just find the basis of this show so interesting. I think it is a story about two strong women who really broke the ceiling. Also come on watching Patti LuPone be a ruthless makeup empress. Who wouldn't want to see that?
