Producers of the Broadway-bound musical The Queen of Versailles released first look images of Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham in character as one-time Florida billionaires Jackie and David Siegel.
Based on Lauren Greenfield’s award-winning 2012 documentary film The Queen of Versailles and the life stories of Jackie and David Siegel, the musical will feature music and lyrics by Oscar-winning songwriter Stephen Schwartz, with a book by Lindsey Ferrentino and direction by Tony winner Michael Arden (Parade, Once on This Island) and choreography by Lauren Yalango-Grant & Christopher Cree Grant (Parade).
In the first-look photo, Chenoweth and Abraham are in character as the Siegels surrounded by the construction and camera crews that would make their elaborate home renovations a living hell.
The musical will begin a pre-Broadway run tomorrow at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre, with opening night slated for August 1.
