"Kristin Chenoweth reigns supreme in The Queen of Versailles, a lavish and ambitious new musical" (People). Based on Lauren Greenfield’s documentary, this "smart and sparkling" (The New York Times, Critic’s Pick) production reunites Chenoweth with Academy Award®–winning songwriter Stephen Schwartz for the first time since Wicked.

From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie Siegel sees herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. Now, as the wife of David "The Timeshare King" Siegel and mother of their eight children, she invites audiences to behold their most grandiose venture yet: building the largest private home in America—a $100 million house in Orlando, Florida, big enough for her dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. But with the Great Recession of 2008 looming, Jackie and David’s dreams begin to crumble, along with their lavish lifestyle.

Also starring Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus), The Queen of Versailles features a book by Lindsey Ferrentino (Fear of 13) and direction by Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending).
