Kristin Chenoweth Confirms 'Queen of Versailles' Broadway Run, First Look as Jackie Siegel Revealed
Kristin Chenoweth is officially heading back to Broadway!
The Tony-winning actress will be back on stage during the 2025-2026 season with her new musical The Queen of Versailles, which is currently playing in Boston for its pre-Broadway engagement.
The musical is based on the 2012 documentary of the same name, about the life stories of Jackie (Chenoweth) and David Siegel (F. Murray Abraham). 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, they invite us to behold their most grandiose venture yet: they’re building the largest private home in America in Orlando, Florida – a $100 million house 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. The Queen of Versailles explores the true cost of fame, fortune, and family.
The Queen of Versailles marks composer Stephen Schwartz‘s first musical since Wicked, reuniting him with Kristin after their smash success with the beloved show.
“The entire Queen of Versailles company is having an incredible time building this new original American musical with the gracious and arts-loving audiences in Boston,” said The Queen of Versailles producers. “We look forward to the journey ahead and bringing this story to Broadway in the 2025-26 season.”
The pre-Broadway run in Boston will celebrate its official opening night on August 1. Check our first look photos in the gallery!
