Kristin Chenoweth Prepares for Her Broadway Comeback
The diminutive diva embraces one of the most demanding roles in her career with The Queen of Versailles. This portrayal reveals a side of Kristin Chenoweth unlike the bubbly Glinda many know—showing a tougher, more determined woman who has fought relentlessly to reach the top of showbiz.
A More Complex Chenoweth
This version of Chenoweth reflects the woman behind the scenes: resilient and, at times, weary. Producing and starring in a new musical is no small feat, especially when she is both its lead performer and principal box office attraction. Her character departs from the familiar “good witch” persona to embody Jackie Siegel, the extravagant shopaholic married to time-share mogul David Siegel, portrayed by F. Murray Abraham.
About The Queen of Versailles Musical
- Adapted from the 2012 documentary of the same name.
- Features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, famous for Wicked.
- Offers a Trumpian satire not typical for Broadway’s stages.
Context and Challenges
The musical comes amid heightened tensions following a recent rare public relations challenge for Chenoweth. After the assassination of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk on September 10 at Utah Valley University, Chenoweth commented beneath his final Instagram post:
“I’m. Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak..”
She concluded her message with a broken-heart emoji.
