Kristin Chenoweth returns to the stage in what could be another award-winning turn.
The newlywed, 55, who walked down the aisle in September with husband Josh Bryant, 41, will star in and produce The Queen of Versailles.
The show is based on the 2012 documentary of the same name, about socialite Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Siegel and her husband, ‘Time Share King’ David Siegel, and their quest to build the largest private home in America.
The couple has yet to finish their Florida home, and completion was delayed after the home suffered damage from a hurricane in 2022.
‘The American dream is still under construction,’ Kristin wrote along with a trailer of the production on her social networks. ‘They are all ready?’ she asked.
