THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES Previews- Page 13

It's a total puff piece. A backdrop comes down with the name and logo of the charity and Cheno discusses the charity. It feels really hokey and shilly. I thought they were about pass buckets around the audience. It completely took me out of the show. 

The diary piece was definitely cut. Jackie must not like it. 

As far as the mention that Cheno's energy seems low on Broadway, it makes total sense. She's carrying this show on her back. That's gotta be exhausting. Also, she has to have some idea how poorly it is being received. She knows she's hurt her LGBTQ fans with the Kirk statement with Jackie coming to her defense. She may be over the whole experience and just wants it to end.

I wonder what the weekly nut is? All in, including royalties and theater rent?  My guess is a million like most new musicals these days. And how big a reserve they have?

As someone who enjoyed the show, I am extremely disappointed to hear about the diary bit being cut. That was a crucial moment in showing Jackie's true character.

Yeah, I am utterly disappointed it was cut.  Ugh.

I love all the actors in the show, I love the director but the subject not to mention the real life people are so disgusting to me, I would not see this if you paid me to. If this succeeds, good for them, if this fails, good for us.

Oh, interesting. They just removed it when I saw it then. I also saw it in Boston, so I noticed the omission. I remember I looked it up after I saw it in Boston and Victoria had supposedly given her mom permission to publish it. It was such a vile detail that I assumed they removed it because it was so so awful and not true. Saying she's continuing to build Versailles in Victoria's honor shows how misguided Jackie is but definitely doesn't pack the same punch.

It’s odd that I found this comment this morning, because someone at the stage door for LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD last night said something vaguely similar about how Cheno appeared “over it” and may actually be.

Cannot speak to KC being over it or low energy, but I will say I am surprised she returned to the stage with an open-ended run. Maybe SRS will end up doing one or two scheduled performances each week, if the show runs long enough? Chenoweth struggles with the Broadway schedule, and with no concrete end date, well let’s just say her standby will get plenty of opportunities to perform.

I saw it last night and I thought KC was in top form, not low energy or giving over it energy AT ALL.  Having said that, I actually liked the show.  I could care less about the woman this is based on, but appreciated the story and it very much is a cautionary tale.  The end was giving me so much Sunsert BLVD vibes.

Hey guys, apologies if this has been discussed, I just don’t have time to skim through the posts, but what has the running time landed on now that the show is frozen?

It's never ending. Every minute feels like 500 years. In reality? It's 2.5 hours on a good day.

Frozen flop.
