VALENCIA, Calif., June 13, 2017 /CNW/ -- Luxury cruise
line Cunard is excited to announce sponsorship of War
Paint, the new musical starring Broadway legends Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole.
With book written by Doug Wright,
music by Scott Frankel, and lyrics
by Michael Korie, War
Paint portrays trailblazing cosmetic icons Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, and their famous rivalry,
which began in the 1930s. In Helena
Rubinstein's (LuPone's) opening scene, she arrives in
New York City by disembarking a
Cunard ship, allowing for a natural partnership between the show
and the cruise line.
Cunard sponsored an industry event for War Paint, which
was held in NYC on Thursday, May 18,
2017 at the Diamond Horseshoe at the Paramount Hotel. Two
Cunard White Star Bellmen were in attendance, posing with guests
for photos and sharing laughs with the cast.
The sponsorship will also allow the Concierge for Cunard's
Princess & Queens Grill guests special access to seats to the
Broadway show at the Nederlander Theatre.
