The charisma of Beyoncé, the influence of Oprah, the wealth of Melinda.

One woman had it all first: Cleopatra.


Tonight she's throwing one of her legendary parties to celebrate Egypt's latest triumph over Rome, and you her royal subjects are invited to indulge. But outside the city walls, the alluring Marc Antony beckons, the nefarious Octavian lurks, and enemies plot her dynasty's end--the queen better watch her back.

Set to a high-octane pop and EDM score, this immersive piece gives history's most mysterious ruler the final word.
