I'll reserve judgment until I see it, of course, but the fact that Jackie and David Siegel are intimately involved gives me great pause on how the material will ultimately be portrayed. Schwartz also doesn't strike me as the ideal composer.

Do we know how this project came to be?  Was this Stephen Schwartz’s idea?

“Woven throughout are sequences depicting the royal court of Versailles with historical figures like Marie Antoinette popping up. The characters kind of communicate with each other across hundreds of years. Because history repeats itself.”  
Theres an article all about the show in the Boston Globe and it’s on their insta story.  It talks about the music, the story, the characters.  I think some of it sounds great, and some of it sounds off, like the Marie Antoinette stuff.  That part sounds dread

I think if the story deals with their delusion and whatnot, I think it could be a really interesting compelling story. But we shall see.

WOW. That looks like it may give Beetlejuice a run for its money in the static set transitions department. Haha.

The show ran 3.5 hours.  The second act, especially, needs cuts.  Chenoweth was amazing and on stage almost the entire time.   Nina White was also outstanding.

Fingers crossed, it will all work out with about an hour of cuts. Better to have too much than not enough.
