Kristin Chenoweth has her eyes set on a Broadway return!
The Tony-winning actress will be starring in and producing the upcoming stage musical The Queen of Versailles, based on the award-winning 2012 documentary of the same name.
Kristin will portray the title character, socialite and TV personality Jackie Siegel. She is reteaming with Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz, who is writing the music for the new show.
Here is the synopsis: From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie sees herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. Now, as the wife of David “The Timeshare King” 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.
An invite-only industry reading of the musical is set for March 24 in New York City in preparation for an out-of-town engagement.
Kristin wrote on Instagram, “IT’S HAPPENING!! 👸 Honored and excited to tell you that we’re bringing #QueenOfVersailles to the stage! To produce & star in this, while also reuniting with @wickedschwartz, is nothing short of a dream!! ❤️.”
In a recent interview, Kristin gave an update on her wedding plans!
