Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole have their male counterparts for this summer's new musical War Paint at the Goodman Theatre. John Dossett and Douglas Sills, both Tony Award–nominated Broadway veterans, have joined the cast to play opposite the two top-billed, two-time Tony-winning divas.
Also announced today was the complete creative team for director Michael Greif's Broadway-aspiring production. They include David Korins (set design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Kenneth Posner (lighting design) and Brian Ronan (sound design), as well as Bruce Coughlin (orchestrations) and Lawrence Yurman (music director). Christopher Gattelli was previously announced as choreographer.
The Goodman run of the new show by Doug Wright, Scott Frankel and Michael Korie, about the rivalry between real-life cosmetics magnates Helena Rubinstein (LuPone) and Elizabeth Arden (Ebersole), has added one week, now through August 14.
