The play was also subsequently produced at the [[Park Avenue Armory|Seventh Regiment Armory]] in New York City.<ref>Review of ''Tamara'' in ''New York Times'' dated 3 December 1987{{full citation needed|date=May 2018}}</ref> In 2005, the actress and artist [[Kara Wilson]] performed ''Deco Diva'', a one-woman stage play based on Lempicka's life.
