Description

The true-to-life story of cosmetics industry pioneers, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubenstein, played by Boston’s leading ladies, Leigh Barrett and Shana Dirik.

Hailed as “thoroughly compelling and masterfully entertaining” War Paint is the true-to-life story of Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubenstein, masters of self-invention and titans of the cosmetics industry who became the country’s first major female entrepreneurs in a time when only men were thought to be capable of building international empires.

This fascinating, female-forward bio-musical spanning their 50 year rivalry is a master-class for two stars and features Boston’s own leading ladies, Leigh Barrett and Shana Dirik, in one of the first productions in the country since the musical closed on Broadway in November, 2017.
