The Queen of Versailles
The last time the omnitalented Kristin Chenoweth collaborated with Broadway tunesmith Stephen Schwartz, the result was a little show called Wicked. Two decades later, they're hoping to make magic again with a musical adapted by Lindsey Ferrentino from Lauren Greenfield’s 2012 documentary about a megarich family’s attempt to build America's biggest house, even as the 2008 recession puts their project on shaky ground. La Cheno plays the gaudy Jackie Siegel, and—as in Boston last year show—F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus) costars as her husband, David, otherwise known as "the Timeshare King." Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending), who has been on a quite a run lately, directs the show's Broadway debut.Â
