More information about The Queen of Versailles
In The Queen of Versailles, Jackie Siegel has it all: a wealthy husband, eight kids, and a gigantic house she can’t wait to show you. Modeled after the Palace of Versailles but situated in Florida, the gaudy home is to be the United States’ largest private residence. Based on a true story, The Queen of Versailles is a new musical about glitz and greed.
Kristin Chenoweth, as Jackie, has played a vapid character with a big heart before: Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked. Audiences familiar with her signature humor and sky-high slinging will find plenty to enjoy in this new musical, penned by Stephen Schwartz who also wrote Wicked and helped catapult Chenoweth to stardom. Rounding out the cast is F. Murray Abraham, as a sleazy businessman, who is known for playing a lecherous wealthy man before, as seen on The White Lotus. Together, Chenoweth and Abraham offer a hilarious portrait of Florida “royalty.”

- Stephen Schwartz is a theatre icon but has also won three Oscars for his music in Pocohontas and The Prince of Egypt.
- Bookwriter Lindsey Ferrentino is a playwright on the rise: she’s had multiple off Broadway productions and was shortlisted for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
