Welcome to the royal court! Complete casting has been set for The Queen of Versailles on Broadway, with the entire main cast reprising their roles from the musical's 2024 world premiere in Boston. Broadway performances begin October 8, and an opening-night red carpet celebration is set for November 9 ahead of the official press opening on the 10th.

As previously announced, Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth and Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham will star as Jacqueline "Jackie" Siegel and David Siegel, respectively. The pair, alongside director Michael Arden, headlined an in-person press event at the St. James Theatre today, where they announced the full cast and unveiled the outside of the theatre.

Newly announced principal cast members include Melody Butiu as Sofia Flores, Nina White as Victoria Siegel, Stephen DeRosa as John, Greg Hildreth as Gary, Tatum Grace Hopkins as Jonquil, and Tony nominee Isabel Keating as Debbie.

Additionally, three-time Tony Award nominee Sherie Rene Scott will be Chenoweth's standby for the role of Jackie Siegel. Her performance schedule has yet to be announced.

The ensemble includes Yeman Brown, David Aron Damane, Drew Elhamalawy, Christopher Gurr, KJ Hippensteel, Cassondra James, Andrew Kober, Jesse Kovarsky, Pablo David Laucerica, Travis Murad Leland, Ryah Nixon, Shea Renne, Michael McCorry Rose, Grace Slear, Anne Fraser Thomas, and Jake Bentley Young.

With a script by Lindsey Ferrentino and a score by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell), The Queen of Versailles follows beauty queen-turned-socialite Jackie Siegel as she endeavors to build the largest single-family private residence in America, which she dubs Versailles. And then the 2008 recession hits, putting her lifestyle and her dreams in jeopardy. The musical is adapted from the award-winning documentary of the same name by Lauren Greenfield.

As previously announced, The Queen of Versailles will feature scenic and video design by Dane Laffrey, costume design by Christian Cowan, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Peter Hylenski, hair and wig design by Cookie Jordan, and orchestrations by John Clancy.
