Video: LEMPICKA Standby Mariand Torres Goes On Without Rehearsal

During last night's performance of Lempicka, the new musical now playing on Broadway, the show's standby for the title role, Mariand Torres, took the stage without ever having rehearsed the show with the cast.

In a video posted on Instagram, Matt Gould gave a speech before the show, drawing attention to Torres' special performance. The video also includes a clip of Torres' first curtain call in the role!

"Today, our standby went on as Tamara de Lempicka without a single put-in rehearsal and blew the doors off the theatre," reads the caption.
