Previews are set to begin on October 8, with a star-studded red-carpet celebration scheduled for November 9—just one day before the show’s official opening night on November 10.

Inspired by the 2012 documentary of the same name, The Queen of Versailles tells the real-life story of Jackie Siegel, a former beauty queen and socialite, and her husband David Siegel, a timeshare mogul, as they attempt to build the largest private home in America—only to see their lavish dreams threatened by financial turmoil. With Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell) composing the score and a powerhouse cast led by Chenoweth, the show is poised to deliver both high drama and high notes.

With a mix of spectacle, humor, and an emotional look at the American Dream gone awry, The Queen of Versailles is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about musicals of the season. Get ready to step into a world of excess and ambition—Broadway’s newest luxury estate opens its doors this fall!
